Odum Library adds Zoological Record database

Odum Library is pleased to add Zoological Record to the 280+ databases already provided:

Zoological Record (ZR) is the world’s oldest continuing database of animal biology. More than 140 years of experience has made ZR a respected resource for:

  • information from every field in animal biology
  • projects in academic, government, and commercial organizations
  • reliable and in-depth information searches
  • Because ZR’s coverage extends back to 1864, it has long acted as the world’s unofficial register of animal names. But this is only one aspect, as its scope of coverage represents every area of animal biology, from biodiversity and the environment to taxonomy and veterinary sciences.

  • Covers 5,000 serials, plus many other sources of information including books, reports, and meetings
  • 72,000 indexed records added every year 3.4 million records available
  • To learn more about Zoological Record, watch the training videos, or just dive in to searching Zoological Record!

    With the replacement of six DVD burners all Media Center computers now support DVD +/- R Dual Layer DVDs.  All media projects can now be completed on DVD-R’s.  Hopefully the DVD+R’s will be phased out.  The six new drives installed in the HP computers all support LightScribe Disc Labeling technology.

    With the addition of LightScribe, custom DVD labels can be easily created using hundreds of pre-designed templates and the software already available on the computers.  LightScribe CD’s are available in the Media Center.
