The Web pages listed on this site are taken from the third edition of Using the Biological Literature: A Practical Guide, by Diane Schmidt, Elisabeth B. Davis, and Pamela F. Jacobs (Marcel Dekker, 2002). This annotated guide to the literature of the biological sciences covers over 3,000 major books, journals, and Web sites of interest to biologists and biologists-in-training. It is divided into the chapters listed below.

The third edition of the guide includes numerous Web sites. These were chosen on the basis of their importance and presumed stability. Of course Web sites change frequently, so the authors have extracted all of the Web resources listed in the book and present them here. This site will be kept up to date, with annotations changing as sites change their focus or their URLs. New sites will not be added to keep this Web site in sync with the print book.
