Patron

Librarian
There is a link to the Library Catalog
Librarian

Librarian
I will check it...
Librarian
You might want to "bookmark" the catalog; here is a link: http://books.vansd.org/cataloging/servlet/presentadvancedsearchredirectorform.do?l2m=Library%20Search&tm=Catalog
Librarian
For clarification, you see info on pollution and clear cutting, correct?
Librarian
The dinosaur question is separate then, I presume?
Librarian
Check this link: http://books.vansd.org/cataloging/servlet/presentbrowseheadingdetailform.do?searchKey=CLIMATE+ENVIRONMENTAL+ASPECTS&searchDisplayable=Climate+--+Environmental+aspects.&siteTypeID=-2&searchType=subject&siteID=&includeLibrary=true&includeMedia=false&mediaSiteID=
Patron
not really, im doing a core project on "if there were more tree's, would pullution be lesss in the world?" and before the dinosaurs they had like 30% more oxegen then right now
Librarian
You can do a subject search for: "Climatic changes -- Environmental aspects"
Librarian
Well, a book on climate change should discuss plants/trees and the balance of oxygen and other gases - let me look at your catalog a little more for that specific information...
Patron
thats kool
Librarian
indeed!
Librarian
You might want to search by subject - greenhouse effect or global warming
Librarian
Check this book out: http://books.vansd.org/cataloging/servlet/presentbrowseheadingdetailform.do?searchKey=GREENHOUSE+EFFECT&searchDisplayable=Greenhouse+effect.&siteTypeID=-2&searchType=subject&siteID=&includeLibrary=true&includeMedia=false&mediaSiteID=
Librarian
and there are a few more: http://books.vansd.org/cataloging/servlet/presentbrowseheadingdetailform.do?siteTypeID=-2&searchType=subject&siteID=&includeLibrary=true&includeMedia=false&mediaSiteID=&searchKey=GLOBAL+WARMING&searchDisplayable=Global+warming&fromTitleDetails=true

Librarian
It looks like you have EBSCOhost - a database that you can use to find articles
Librarian
Go to this page: http://portalsso.vansd.org/portal/page?_pageid=376,1743572&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
Librarian
