Please note that I have not included journals that only very rarely publish vertebrate paleontology papers (such as American Naturalist and many medical journals).

    Some journals shift web sites periodically, becoming temporarily unavailable.  I have marked these journals below with a large, red X.  If they are offline for an extended period, I'll move them to the list of sites with no web pages.  If you have any information about the fate of these journals and their web sites, please e-mail me!

     For more extensive information about all these (and any other) journals, please try PubList.  Also, BIOSIS has recently initiated the journal portal BiologyBrowser.

    Click below to jump to links to places on the web where you can:

• view or purchase copies of dissertations
• see web sites for non-technical publications
• find information about new publications directly from their publishers or out-of-print publications, including monographs and, sometimes, reprints.

Many North American doctoral dissertations are available for sale via ProQuest.

Many theses and dissertations from students in the university system in Ohio can be downloaded from OhioLINK ETD Service.

Theses Canada is a source for locating theses and dissertations from Canadian universities, but all purchasing is done via ProQuest, as above.

The Center for Research Libraries Foreign Doctoral Dissertations Database holds over 750,000 dissertations from the U.K., France, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, South Africa, and more, though at present it appears that only 12,000 have been cataloged. If you don't find what you want in their database, e-mail them to inquire about as-yet uncataloged holding.

The British Thesis Service makes available copies of theses and dissertations from Great Britain and Ireland. You can search for specific documents here.

You can search French disseretations via ABES-SUDOC (make sure you un-check all options under "Type of Publication" except dissertations).

The titles and authors of a few German paleontological dissertations may be viewed via the Universitats- und Landesbibliothek Dusseldorf  by typing in some appropriate author, title- or keywords (Titelstichwort/Schlagwort).  Copies are available by e-mailing the librarian; costs appear to be around $0.20 per page (I don't know if this includes shipping).

The Universistats- und Landesbibliothek Bonn also has some dissertations available on-line.

The China Dissertation Database (CDDB) home page is here, but requires a log-in to access. Don't ask me how to obtain a log-in code -- other than the home page, it's all in Chinese.

If you know a source for other dissertations outside North America, please e-mail me so I can place the information here.

    A variety of publishers are producing new books about vertebrate paleontology and subdisciplines therein.  Here are links to the home pages of many of the larger publishers of these edited volumes.  
 

Academic Press	Cambridge University Press	Columbia University Press	Indiana University Press
Johns Hopkins University Press	Lubrecht & Cramer (Handbuch der Palaoherpetologie)	University of California Press	University of Chicago Press
Yale University Press

Also try these sites who represent many international publishers:  
 

China Scientific Book Services

Natural History Booksellers

    Here are links to a few places on the web who specialize (or have specialized sections) for antiquarian geological and paleontological  material.  Be warned:  most of the older stuff is very expensive!

Aquila Natural History Books	Backhuys Publishers AntiquarianBook Dept.	Baldwins Scientific Books	Dieter Schierenberg BV
Ed Rogers	Lingua Terrae	Paul Gritis Books	PaleoPublications
TomFolio.com	2Neat Books

Also try the following book search engines, which search large, global networks of used booksellers simultaneously -- I've had great results with all of them.  But get your checkbooks ready -- most of the older stuff isn't cheap!  Allbooks.com searches several new and used book search systems simultaneously; it can even find monographs if they're available!
