Encyclopedia of Life

Sean discovered a new online resource called Encyclopedia of Life.



The Encyclopedia of Life is a series of websites that unites mammal, bird, bug, plant, bacteria, etc. in one location, providing in-depth, scientifically valid information on individual species as well as developing a clear understanding of how ecosystems work and change over time and under different conditions.



Ultimately, the Encyclopedia of Life will provide an online database for all 1.8 million species now known to live on Earth.



At the recommendation of Philenese, links to this free resource have been provided on the biology and agriculture resource pages.

New RefWorks Attachment Feature

The attachment feature in RefWorks enables users to attach non-bibliographic information to references in their personal database, much like attaching files to an email message. The incorporation of this feature allows users to upload files to existing references stored within their RefWorks database. Now RefWorks users can instantly save and retrieve all forms of data within their database including:

• BMP, TIF, JPG, PNG, GIF, PDF
• Microsoft Word
• Microsoft Powerpoint
• Equations
• Chemical Structures
• Technical Drawings
• and more...

Each user has been provided 200mb of storage space, but 5mb is the maximum attachment size that can be uploaded at one time. See this fact sheet (PDF) for instructions.
