Species Information Library

North American Animals & Their Habitats on Full-Text CD-ROM

Baltimore--National Information Services Corporation (NISC) is pleased to
publish an indispensable resource for state, federal, and private fish and
wildlife organizations. The Fish and Wildlife Information Exchange (FWIE)
at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University serves as an
information clearinghouse for fish and wildlife agencies in North America.
FWIE archives the species information systems and related databases
developed by fish and wildlife agencies and promotes interagency data
sharing. Now these important databases are on one CD-ROM--yours to keep
and use freely on a LAN! No environmental planner, researcher, or educator
should be without this comprehensive NISC DISC.

7,200 species (on 45,000 pages of text!) are described under these major
headings:

Taxonomy * Habitat Associations * Food Habits * Life History
Management Practices * Environmental Associations * References

Each database describes nearly 1,000 North American faunal species in
detail. Each full-text record is one vertebrate or selected invertebrate
species or subspecies. Information is drawn from published and grey
literature, field studies, compiled internal reports, and work with other
agencies.

Species Information Library includes these national fish & wildlife
databases:

The U.S. National Biological Survey's Endangered Species Information System
(435 species)

System (454)
