PERIODICALS

Periodicals are where most of the information for your research papers will come. Remember that there are scholarly publications as well as popular publications You will most likely want to stick to scholarly publications for your research. For hints on how to tell the two apart, please see Scholarly vs. Popular Articles.

Wittenberg owns many scientific journals in both print and electronic formats. The links below will help you to find out what journals we own, the format, and where they are located.

Wittenberg Periodical Holdings List AKA "Journals the Library Has: Electronic & Print" This is a searchable index of the periodicals Wittenberg owns in print and electronically. Location and dates owned are also provided.

Periodicals relating to Limnology are listed below. Electronic periodicals are listed as links. Print periodicals are listed with locations. Periodicals not owned by Wittenberg are marked with an asterisk. Articles from these titles will need to be requested through Interlibrary Loan. See a Librarian for additional help.

WEB SITES

When using the internet, always be thinking critically about what you are viewing. Good and bad information both reside on the internet and it isn't always easy to tell the two apart. For hints on spotting good web pages, please see the library's page on Evaluating Web Sites.

Water Resources of the United States
http://water.usgs.gov/

American Society of Limnology and Oceanography
http://aslo.org/

Great Lakes Science Center
http://www.glsc.org/index.php3

International Society of Limnology
http://www.limnology.org/

If you choose to use internet sites as information resources, you must cite them just as you must cite a book or journal article. For help citing webpages and other online resources, take a look at Citing Electronic Resources.

HELP

If you are having trouble with your research, please contact Alisa Mizikar, the Science Librarian, via email at amizikar@wittenberg.edu or call extension 7515. You can also contact any of the reference librarians at refdesk@wittenberg.edu or at extension 7511.
