These are guides that help you search databases for pertinent information. A great feature of a library is if you can't find what you’re looking for you can always ask a librarian.

Another source specific to my research is: The Peregrine Fund's Global Raptor Information Network (GRIN) to help the public, researchers, & conservationists communicate what is going on around the world in respect to raptor conservation.
"The Global Raptor Information Network (GRIN) is a website maintained by The Peregrine Fund to provide detailed information on diurnal birds of prey and to facilitate communication between raptor researchers of the world.
GRIN features include a comprehensive database on the distribution and population status of diurnal raptors, handbook-style species accounts, a large searchable bibliography, homepagesfor raptor researchers, a “Recent Raptor News” section, and links to numerous other related websites.
The GRIN database currently contains 333 species accounts." (Kiff 2010)
