Hosted by the North American Bat Conservation Partnership (NABCP), this website features the Literature Reference Database -- a service designed for bat researchers. The Literature Reference Database includes listings for bat-related books, dissertations, reprints, and popular journal articles. The website provides a search engine and simple instructions for browsing the database. Due to copyright laws NABCP is unable to provide copies of publications listed in the database, but it does offer tips for obtaining copies of desired items. Note: The Literature Reference Database has the same URL as the NABCP homepage, so to reach the Database simply select the BCI Library link (under Resource Links) on the NABCP homepage. [NL]
