Wildlife Ecology and Conservation: Welcome

To access databases and online journals from off-campus, you must first log into the proxy server or the Virtual Private Network (VPN). The VPN is recommended as it provides the smoothest access. 

Need a book, journal article, or other item not in UF Libraries' collections? Make a request through ILLiad, the online book and document retrieval service, and we will ask another library to lend you the items you need.

UBorrow lets you request materials directly from participating Florida state university libraries when the item is not available at UF. 

Just search the online catalog, follow the UBorrow links to the statewide catalog, find the item you want, and click the  button. You can pick up the item at either Library West, Health Science Center Library, or the Legal Information Center.

It’s simple, it’s quick – try it!
