| Access Via: | SORA Website or via a link from the Vann Library's Homepage |
| System Requirements: | The content is available in searchable and browseable formats and documents can be downloaded as pdf or djvu files. Djvu files rely on an “acrobat” type browser plug-in (www.lizardtech.com) for viewing and are approximately 1/4 the size of pdf files for faster downloads. Web browsers must have the ability to read java script (make sure it is turned on). The site is still under development and additional features and journals (JFO browse feature and NABB for example) will be added as the materials become available and the programming is completed. This site is still undergoing some modification and problems (broken/bad links, etc.) can be reported to the SORA Coordinator, Blair Wolf, through the site link. He will not be providing browser support, but is interested in functional issues/ideas relating to the site. |

| Description: |
The SORA project (http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora) is an
open access electronic journal archive and is the product of a
collaboration between the American Ornithologists Union, the Cooper
Ornithological Society, the Association of Field Ornithologists, the
Wilson Ornithological Society and the University of New Mexico libraries
and IT department. This archive provides access to an extensive
Ornithological literature of international scope, and detailed material
documenting the history of Ornithology in North America over the last
120 years. The content of this site includes the following titles: The
Auk (1884-1999), The Condor (1899-2000), The Journal of Field
Ornithology (1930-1999), The North American Bird Bander (1976-2000),
Pacific Coast Avifauna (1900-1974), Studies in Avian Biology
(1978-1999), and The Wilson Bulletin (1889-1999). Also available with
browse-only capability is Ornithologia Neotropical; we hope to be able
to index this journal soon, and include searching across its contents.
We hope to be able to expand the content available as more Societies and
journals join. © 2004 The University of New Mexico |
