URSUS
URSUS - the online catalogue of the
University of Maine System, contains a wealth of information on entomology and
related topics. Searching is by author, title, keyword, subject, and call
number. Through URSUS
you can find books, conference, symposium, and workshop proceeding volumes,
University of Maine theses and dissertations, and state, federal, Canadian, and
other international documents. Material is catalogued by Library of Congress
Subject Headings. The following subject headings may get you started in your
search:
forest insects | insects anatomy | Insects as carriers of disease | insects behavior | insects classification | insects ecology | insects larvae | insects parasites | insects physiology
A good way to search URSUS is by Keyword. Using the keyword search option you can combine various keywords together using AND, OR, and parentheses.
Once you have found something of interest note the subject headings and use these in your search.
Indexes
