Publication resources online: NSS Journal of Cave and Karst Studies: Prior to 1996 the NSS scientific publication was the Bulletin of the National Speleological Society. Several papers authored or co-authored by ISS member Dr. Steven Taylor can be found here. Databases for searching published scientific works relating to caves and karst can be found via the following URLs: GeoRef - http://georef.cos.com/geoadvquery.shtml Unfortunately, both of the above are paid subscriptions services. University libraries and other academic institutions will likely have access to these resources on open computers. Click here for a .txt file of previously obtained georef.com search results focused on Illinois karst research publications. Universities in or near the state of Illinois with Geo-science departments These institutions will likely have libraries with public hours for accessing materials and resources.
