SEA TURTLE ONLINE BIBLIOGRAPHY
The Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research (ACCSTR) at the University of Florida has developed the "Sea Turtle Online Bibliography." This bibliographic database can be accessed worldwide via the Internet. This online bibliography includes all aspects of sea turtle biology, conservation and management. Citations are from recognized bibliographic sources as well as "grey literature." Unfortunately, at present, we cannot conduct searches for those investigators who cannot access the system.
The Sea Turtle Online Bibliography is one of the bibliographic databases in the LUIS system at the University of Florida. LUIS runs under the NOTIS software marketed by NOTIS Systems, Inc. (Evanston, IL) The software resides on an IBM ES/9000-831 owned and operated by the Northeast Regional Data Center (NERDC) in Gainesville, Florida. The Florida Center for Library Automation (FCLA) in Gainesville supports NOTIS for the State University System of Florida. Computer time for searching LUIS is paid for by FCLA. Any telecommunications fees incurred are the responsibility of the user.
