What I found on the Way to something Else: U-M's (Michigan) EJournal site

It all started with watching the streaming vid of the Dalai Lama from the University Michigan's website. His Holiness was in Ann Arbor April 20th to celebrate Earth Day. The Dean of the School of Natural Resources and Environment introduced the UM President Mary Kay Coleman who then introduced the Dalai Lama.

On the way to finding the School of Natural Resources and Environment, I came across the UM Libraries (19 in all) website and looked for ideas on how to re-design our own ERAU-Prescott Hazy Library website.

From the UM Harlan Hatcher graduate library website, I found the eJournals link where one can choose from a list of dozens of topic areas (http://www.lib.umich.edu/ejournals/) And from there, I clicked on Natural Resources and Environment -- whoah!

653 titles appear with journal titles and websites ranging from Acta Oecoligica to Agronomy Journal and onto Country Living Gardener, Endangered Species Bulletin, Human Ecology, Journal of Animal Science, North American Journal of Aquaculture, Plant Diseases and USDA Bulletins. I'm in information heaven here!
