Freshwater Ecology - PCB 4301
First Problem Set
Due: 5:00 PM, Thursday 2 September
Each of you will independently go to the library and make a list of the scientific journals that FIU receives in which work on aquatic ecology is published. You will compile this list in a spreadsheet format (XL, QuattroPro, Lotus), with the following columns:
Column 1. Full name of journal
Column 2. Call Number
Column 3. 2 to 4 word description of the scope of the journal (e.g. General Ecology; aquatic plants, physics of aquatic environments, etc)
Column 4. First year that FIU began receiving the journal
Column 5. Where the journal is published (City, country)
In addition to this table, you will also each identify the most important journal for Freshwater ecologists that the FIU library does not receive, with a brief explanation of why the chosen journal is important.
You will email your responses to Dr. Fourqurean at fourqure@fiu.edu; in the body of the email answer the question about the missing resource, and attach the spreadsheet as a file to your email. The name of the spreadsheet file should be: YOURNAMEprob1.xxx. For example, Ralph Saporito, if he were submitting an Excel file to me, would attach a file called Saporitoprob1.xls.
