Because environmental issues are constantly changing, it's important to consult current periodical (journal, magazine & newspaper) literature in addition to books.
The best way to find articles is through our Databases & Indexes. We have a lot of databases that cover environmental topics. Some specific databases that may be useful in particular cases are listed on this page.
