Part of Cyanosite (last reported on in the NSDL Scout Report for the Life Sciences, May 17, 2002), CyBib v5 is the seventh generation of "a bibliographic database exclusively for scientific literature about cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)." The database was developed by Dr. Mark A. Schneegurt of Wichita State University -- with the help of many contributors -- to provide researchers and students with a free cyanobacteria resource. The database currently houses close to 25,000 references (many of which were collected by CyanoNews founder Jeff Elhai). Site users can access the references through a Simple Keyword Search or an Advanced Boolean Search. This site also contains links for submissions, downloading CyBib v5, CyanoNews, a bio page for Dr. Schneegurt, and Cyanosite. [NL]
