Overview
Library Search is a good place to start searching for information (especially books and journal articles) because it covers multiple databases.
However, you may sometimes need to search individual databases to find specific types of information, or to use specialised search options designed to help you find information more easily. The boxes below list databases and resources relevant to environmental science.
If you require further assistance, please see the options on the Library's Need help? page
