Dear All, Recently I have been using two fantastic on-line resources
for downloadable pdf digital scans life sciences literature: Biodiversity
Heritage Library (http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/)
and Botanicus (http://www.botanicus.org/browse)
The former is a consortium of 10 major botanical institutes; the latter is based
at Missouri BG. The databases are searchable in a number of different ways
and together cover a great deal of the early (and thus often hard to get) aroid
literature, notably that in journals such as Bonplandia, Oesterriches Botanischer
Wochenblatt and O.B. Zeitschrift, Annales Museum Lugdunum-Batavi, and much
more. The file download in fast, and its free! Most importantly the scans are
of the original literature, as published, and thus for taxonomists very useful
for checking types, and all the small foibles that can affect publication
status. Best Pete |
