Ohio Link Electronic Journal Center (EJC)

JSTOR		 These two sources provide on line versions of journals in the biological sciences. Specific journals can be browsed or the search function can be used to find articles related to specific topics, species, or authors using keyword searches. Abstracts can be browsed and whole text articles can be downloaded as PDF files for printing. For EJC begin by selecting life siences.
Biological Abstracts

Science Citation Index		 These two data bases are good for searching for a particular topic, species, or author. They provide abstracts of articles and links to on line journals when available.
Some journals to browse in search of project ideas are listed below by area.

Multidisiplinary Science Journal - Proceedings of the National Academy of Science allows you to browse the current issue or use the archive back to 1990. Articles in this journal cover a wide range of topics in the biological sciences. They often involve sophisticated techniques that may not be adaptable to a five week project.
