In the Spotlight – Citation Collections of Wildlife Health Publications

Digest Article Citation Library

In addition, to bringing Digest readers a summary of the latest wildlife disease news, the Wildlife Health Information Node (WDIN) staff, who publish the Digest, also monitor for wildlife disease related publications and select citations to share.

Since 2007, WDIN has been using Connotea, a free web-based citation manager hosted by Nature Publishing Group, to organize and index the collection citations that have been published to the Digest.


The Digest’s article citation library is open to all. It can be found here at http://www.connotea.org/user/WildlifeDiseaseInformationNode. The articles are tagged with keywords, which allow visitors to easily browse the library or search for a specific article.

For those who have an RSS reader, Connotea offers an RSS feed that is updated anytime new publications are added to the Digest Library. To subscribe to this feed, simply click here, http://www.connotea.org/rss/user/WildlifeDiseaseInformationNode

In addition, readers can easily get to the citation library through links available on the Digest, either under the Related Links section in the right-hand margin, or within the header of the each Wildlife Health Related Publications section.


USGS National Wildlife Health Center - Publications Library

Another useful collection of wildlife disease related publications can be found on the National Wildlife Health Center web site here. Visitor can access over 1000 publications, including U.S. Geological Survey/NBS/Fish and Wildlife Service series publications, articles in peer-reviewed science journals, chapters in books, fact sheets, and other documents. This collection also includes papers from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Bear River Field Station in Utah and the work of Dr. Wayne Jensen, a pioneer in botulism research.
