Internet Explorer Users: cookies must be set to low for this database to function properly.
Data maps of plant diseases affecting agriculture and forestry.
- The Distribution Maps of Plant Diseases cover important diseases affecting agriculture and forestry. There are 18 diseases per map set covering fungi, bacteria and, from 1999 onwards, nematodes. Many maps have been revised following changes to taxonomy or distribution, some a number of times. This site contains a complete archive of the Plant Disease Maps. The maps can be browsed by year of publication or geographic distribution, and for more detailed search requirements, a special subset of CAB Abstracts has been prepared to allow for complex searching through the complete collection. The maps are available in pdf format and are designed to print out on either A4 or US legal sized paper (enable printer scaling for best results).

Web of Science (at Web of Knowledge)
Online Access: On/Off Campus. GALILEO Password required for off campus access.
Internet Explorer Users: cookies must be set to medium for this database to function properly.
Provides access to the combined Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts and Humanities Citation Index.
- Web of Science provides access to the Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts and Humanities Citation Index covering over 8,000 journal. These three databases can be searched separately, in any combination, or all at once. These databases are unique in that the user can search to find which articles have cited a certain author or article. This technique of doing research, called pearl growing, allows researchers to find articles that are related to an earlier work. Often this technique turns up articles which are not found through traditional subject and keyword searches.
