stevejzoo writes "The American Ornithological Union, the British
Ornithological Union and Birds Australia have launched OWL, the
Ornithological World Literature database, freely available at
http://www.birdlit.org .

OWL is a successor to ROLO, Recent Literature of Ornithology Online and
the earlier, printed Recent Literature of Ornithology. The database is
hosted by the Edward Grey Institute of Field Ornithology, based in the
Zoology Department of Oxford University, UK. At present the database
contains 19,000 records, with an emphasis on serials and gray
literature.
The intent is to extend the database retrospectively to 1950. The
sponsors expect the database to contain 100,000 entries by the end of
2004."
