To Start

Hello! Welcome to the Research Guide for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology. This guide will help you access materials through Columbia Libraries and beyond.

Looking for books? Use CLIO, the libraries' primary search interface to find: books, databases, ebooks, journals, newspapers, and DVDs.

Looking for articles? Go to the "Find Articles" tab of this guide.

Find Books

CLIO - search the Columbia Libraries' primary catalog. Includes materials from Barnard & ReCAP partners.
Course Reserves - find your course books here
EDUCAT - search the Teachers College catalog, which has many relevant resources

Find Materials We Don't Own

Interlibrary Loan enables you to borrow materials, including article or chapter scans, from libraries that aren't in the Borrow Direct network as well as to request scans of articles or book chapters from all libraries.
Scan & Deliver: Electronic Document Delivery enables you to request article or chapter scans from Columbia's collections.
