The best databases for information about insects and their relatives

You will need to find, read, and cite articles that are important to researchers and students in the entomology community. These databases will help you accomplish that. If you are off campus, you may be asked to enter your UARK username and password; if you log in through the VPN, GlobalProtect, which its.uark.edu can provide, your computer will act as though you are on campus.
