Find tables, figures, graphs, charts etc. from scholarly research and technical literature - CSA Illustrata: Natural Sciences

The library has just subscribed to a neat new product, CSA Illustrata: Natural Sciences.

It searches for tables, graphs, maps, images, etc. in the scholarly literature. For example, if you are looking for maps of the grizzly bear's range in Kananaskis (or a picture of the grizzly itself), you can use Illustrata.

The database is not in our Research Databases list yet, so use this link in the meantime:
