GreenFILE Environmental Issues Database, June Research Spotlight
Renewable energy, green buildings, sustainable agriculture, & more are in
GreenFILE, a new database to help raise your environmental consciousness and research.
GreenFILE helps you see how human interactions with the environment can relate to law, health, technology, energy, food sources, education, and more. The initial launch has over 600 titles of comprehensive coverage (Vol. 1—present) such as Bioscience (1964—), Journal of Ecology (1913—), Journal of Environmental Planning & Management (1948—), and others. The database has nearly 300,000 abstract/indexed articles, and has full text for nearly 5,000 records from open access titles.
This is an open web database from EBSCO publishing and requires no authentication.
Tip for Case researchers: since this is an open web product, it doesn't automatically link you to "Find It" icons, but with over 9,000 e-journal titles on the E-journal portal, you're likely to find Case and OhioLINK journal articles for many of the cited titles from GreenFILE, the June 2008 KSL Research Spotlight!
