Abstract
The study of zoology and animal sciences encompasses a broad range of subdisciplines that includes genetics, natural history, and everything in between. Like the vastness of the subject matter, so too are the number of information resources that make up the body of zoological literature. This chapter identifies the core databases in this discipline and provides a selected listing of encyclopedias, reference books, journals, data repositories, grey literature, and Open Access resources. It describes techniques for teaching information literacy skills to undergraduate and graduate zoology students, along with sources for finding additional material on information literacy in the life sciences.
