Other Electronic Resources

Probably the most comprehensive listing of biology web resources can be found on the BioSciences Web Pages compiled by Harvard. A good source of oceanographic data sets is found on Scripps Institution of Oceanography web page. Selected other resources are listed alphabetically below. When it comes time to cite an electronic resource in your bibliography, you may want to use the APA style or the MLA style citation formats. You might also try here and here and here.
