Marine and aquatic sciences information literacy Taylor, Sally
Abstract
Marine and aquatic sciences encompass the study of oceanic and freshwater environments. Research in this area is often multidisciplinary and is conducted worldwide by academia, industry, and government and nongovernment organizations. This chapter examines unique aspects to consider when searching for this information (e.g., by scientific name or geographical area) and the importance of publication types beyond journal literature. It highlights key information resources such as taxonomy tools and species databases, encyclopedias, field guides, journals, databases, repositories, government sites, intergovernmental organizations, data and map sources, and citizen science websites. It includes practical examples for teaching information literacy skills to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as advice for staying current in the field.
