Green & Environmental Research
Doing some environmental research? Check out the following newer or updated online resources.
- The library's big list of
Selected Resources for Environmental Studies
-
GreenFILE, provided free of charge by EBSCOhost, covers
both scholarly and general interest publications related to
climate change, green building, pollution, sustainable
agriculture, renewable energy, recycling and more. It
indexes and abstracts more than 600 publications with
historical access to some titles, such as Journal of Ecology
going back to 1913.
- The
Encyclopedia of Global Warming and Climate Change
provides a primarily nonscientific resource to understanding
the complexities of climate change. It includes more than
750 articles that explore major topics related to global
warming and climate change—ranging geographically from the
North Pole to the South Pole, and thematically from social
effects to scientific causes.
- The Encyclopedia of Bioethics, while not primarily geared toward environmental studies, does include many relevant entries such as sustainable development, environmental health, environmental ethics and ecofeminism, corporate compliance, endangered species and biodiversity, climate change, environmental policy and law, and much more. Coverage: complete text and images from the 5 volume print edition.
The library also maintains a list of journals in Environmental Studies, comprised of online and print journals to which the library maintains individual subscriptions (as opposed to those aggregated in the large databases)
