MAJOR GATEWAYS
As botany is a broad topic and of interest to many persons for many purposes, several compilations of relevant information have already appeared from academic institutions. Some of these are under the subject heading of botany, while other valuable resources are grouped into the general subject heading of biology. Some are quite general, but very comprehensive in approach, while others reflect more specific research interests. There are many avenues to pursue in the following sources: some will lead you to botanical information, but others are useful for an interdisciplinary view of your topic. Another flexible approach is to begin with top level indexes and search for keywords.

Plant Biology (BIOSCIENCES)
 | The Virtual Library - resources arranged by institution.
| To expand your search, move up to the BIOSCIENCES
directory. | |
| This resource is the gateway to about 75 web and gopher servers around the world, although most are from the United States. They are primarily of interest to researchers and cover a wide range of biological areas. Access is also available to several library referral systems. |
| The California State University Biological Sciences World
Wide Web Server brings together research and teaching
resources from around the world. A particular area of
concentration is the creation and distribution of original
multimedia material for teaching purposes. The Web
Tutorial is especially useful for getting an overview of
how to appraoch the web.

| From Boise State University comes this clean-cut approach to navigating the Internet. Carol's Reference Sources focusses on librarians' search tools - look here for a multitude of topics, then scroll down to a substantial section on botany. |
| The CoLib Project is a multi-institutional and
interdisciplinary project for creating a botanical
digital library.
| Under construction - designed for research and educational
purposes. | |
| This is a directory for EINet, which is composed of public
and commercial organizations. It is arranged in a hierarchy,
and at each level there is a breakdown into collections,
directories, and a series of organization types, with often
numerous links to each category.

| Gopher access to a collection of electronic serials, books,
references, subject list, libraries, scholarly societies, and
much more. A site to surf.
| For botany resources, try the major listing of scholarly
societies, for example the American
Institute of Biological Sciences gopher.
| Maintained at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver | |
| Biological, Agricultural and Medical Resources from the
University of California, Riverside - selected resources for
research and education.
| Gateway to several keyword and topic searches, including
botany.
| Sources of information are annotated and links provided to
broader and narrower terms. | |
| Extensive resources primarily for molecular biologists.
| Access to 5 full-text electronic publications for biologists.
| Try the institutional links to other Bio-Web
servers. | |
| This resource is still under construction, but already
covers a wide area of academic interests.
| Life
sciences - Museums
and Botanical Gardens. | |
| Collection of links to information and services for
molecular biologists.
| Do searches, find bibliographies, or consult guides.
| Evaluates resources for their content and usefulness. | |
| A well arranged resource for locating major academic and
research institutions in many fields. Presently under
reconstruction.
| Initial topics are very broad. For material relating to
botany, try the headings Environmental,
Science eastern
hemisphere, and Science
western hemisphere. | |
| This tree has barely sprouted. Watch for the construction of a phylogenetic navigational tool for the Internet. |
| Uses a hierarchy of concise subject headings, with many
links under each one.
