Basic Resources in Primatology

The following contain material on primates. You might also use the Journal Finder function on the University Library homepage searching for journals which contain the word "primate" or "primatology". The term "primates" returns more journals than the term "primatology". The catalogue and OneSearch may also be searched in the same fashion.

This is a major resource held in the Reference Room on the Main Floor of Axinn Library. Search by call number.

ScienceDirect This link opens in a new window Probably the best source at Hofstra University on this topic. The first page allows you to limit your search to large categories of knowledge (“Life Sciences”, “Social Sciences and Humanities”) or to narrow disciplines (“Environmental Science”). I find searching across all titles to be sufficient. Best search is by name of primate species.

JSTOR holds some articles on Primates.
Hofstra subscribes to JSTOR Arts & Sciences Collections I through VII, as well as the Life Sciences Collection and JSTOR 19th Century British Pamphlets
