Florida Atlantic University Libraries

This guide was designed by Eleanor L. Lomax to help identify resources on Geology and related topics in the FAU Boca Raton Library. The electronic resources are available from the FAU Libraries home page by following the links entitled Indexes/ Databases or Articles. Some of these resources have full-text articles available online. To access these resources from off campus, use the EZ Proxy link and log in using your 14-digit Owl Card number. For further assistance, please contact the Reference Desk by telephone (561-297-3785) or send e-mail lyref@fau.edu.
