April 22nd is Earth Day, a international celebration of our green and blue planet. The LRC has some great resources to help you understand more about earth and environmental sciences:
Science Direct is an online database that includes ten million full text articles from 2,500 scientific, technical and medical well respected, peer reviewed journals.
GreenFILE, an EbscoHost database, offers articles about climate change, sustainable building, waste management, energy practices and agriculture and pollution.
If you’re looking for an introduction to these topics, Facts On File Today’s Science is a great place to start for a student-focused look at scientific disciplines. In addition, they provide access to a glossary of scientific terms and a science encyclopedia to help get you started and provide quick answers when you have questions.
On the Earth Day website, you can learn more about what you can do to preserve the air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil we depend on to grow our food. In addition, the LRC has created an Environment research guide to help you find more of our library resources.
