Linking Florida's Natural Heritage: Science and Citizenry is an IMLS-funded project that improves access to diverse information on Florida species and ecology. The project includes the development of a Web-based interface to both library bibliographic files and museum speciman databases; the creation of bibliographic databases with enhanced taxonomic information; the digitization of a core collection of seminal texts; and, the use of a thesaurus and other tools to improve search and access.
