ESRI's website has a great bibliography section that allows
the user to search for papers that deal with GIS projects.
Most of these papers have been presented at the User
Conferences or at other Conferences and not always published
in scientific journals. Searches are done using keywords,
authors, journals, etc. Examples of subjects tested are:
conservation, climate, herbarium, biodiversity, biogeography.

This issue takes a look at the emerging science of
"biodiversity informatics" -- the efforts under way
to make the vast, decentralized resources of global biodiversity
information available in digital form, and the enormous
challenge of imposing consistency and compatibility among the
scores of searchable databases on the world's biota.
