Include lists and brief descriptions of two ecologically useful print items that may be obtained from the distant libraries. Have a look at several of these. Also, find the web addresses and look at the sites for the Ecological Society of America, the North American Benthological Society, the Southwestern Association of Naturalists, the American Museum of Natural History, the Nature Conservancy, and the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. Also, search the internet yourself, and find at least two other sites that contain ecological material. You can find out how to do this in the library if it is new to you.
Internet sites vary widely in value.
Anyone can create a web page, post it to the internet, and put anything in it she chooses, which is very unlike publishing in the scientific literature. So there is a lot of junk online. Sites maintained by universities, museums, government agencies, reputable private conservation agencies, or scholarly societies may have better material than some others. Scientists who are widely published in the open, refereed literature are unlikely to post junk. But still, much of this stuff is on the internet because it could be posted there without being reviewed in the normal manner.
