Library Resources for Plant Family Information
The books listed below are some of those available in the Bertrand Library that describe specific plant families and offer information on their evolution. For related information, you can also search the online catalog for your family name (scientific name) and the order name. Another search tool is the library's online database search engine but start early so that you can get copies of resources not available at Bucknell. Finally, check out the WWW and in particular some of the web sites I've listed on the BIOL 330/630 web page <http://www.facstaff.bucknell.edu/abrahmsn/bi330/>. The Alta Vista search engine is particularly good to identify specific web pages.
