"About the BioOne Collections
"BioOne is the product of innovative collaboration between scientific societies, libraries, academe, and the private sector, who sought a mission- and content-driven alternative to commercial publishing. BioOne brings to the Web a uniquely valuable aggregation of the full-texts of high-impact bioscience research journals. Most of BioOne's titles are published by small societies and non-commercial publishers, and, until now, have been available only in printed form. BioOne provides integrated, cost-effective access to a thoroughly linked information resource of interrelated journals focused on the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences.
" About BioOne.1
BioOne launched their original aggregation, now retroactively dubbed "BioOne.1", with forty titles in 2001. Now at maturity, the collection includes over eighty high-impact publications. BioOne.1 provides the scholarly community with a must-have collection of critical, high quality titles across the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences. Most of BioOne.1's titles are ISI ranked and available back to Volume 1, Issue 1 through JSTOR.
" About BioOne.2
BioOne.2 is BioOne's new collection, available to subscribers in early January 2007. BioOne.2 is a response to the immense success of BioOne.1 and offers a new, diverse group of journals a fully-linked and highly functional home on the Web. BioOne.2 currently includes forty high-impact titles, with additional journals to be added through 2008. The majority of BioOne.2 titles, many of which are internationally based, have not been available online until now. A subscription to the BioOne.2 collection includes access to six titles from Japan's UniBio Press.
"Open Access, freely available content is an important part of BioOne's-and the scholarly enterprise's-core mission. BioOne Open Access titles, including the American Society of Plant Biologists' e-book The Arabidopsis Book, are available to all BioOne users, regardless of subscription. We continue to add high quality open access content to the BioOne collection and invite interested journals to contact us for consideration.

FishBase
http://www.fishbase.org
FishBase is a useful global information system which boasts that it has "all you ever wanted to know about fishes. FishBase is a relational database with information to cater to different professionals such as research scientists, fisheries managers, zoologists and many more. FishBase on the web contains practically all fish species known to science, [presently at over 29,000 species, including references, distribution, etc]. FishBase 2004 is also available on DVD or CD-ROMs with full information on 28,500 species. It comes together with the FishBase 2000 book and can be ordered for 95 US$ including air-mail."
FishBase was developed at the WorldFish Center http://www.worldfishcenter.org/cms/default.aspx in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and many other partners, and with support from the European Commission (EC). Since 2001 FishBase is supported by a consortium of seven research institutions" (see web site). Where FishBase is particularly helpful is in its directory of scientific names, classifications for fish species, distribution by species, and references for further information
