# Natural History Links A number of useful links are provided below. If you use [Google](http://www.google.com/) for your initial searches try [Proxied Google Scholar](http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:hul.eresource:gscholar). This version of Google Scholar requires a Harvard ID and PIN and will allow retrieval of some electronic resources that Harvard owns rights to access. Keep in mind that Google Scholar only has access to *some* of the scholarly literature. Remember to [ask us ](mailto:mayrlib@oeb.harvard.edu)for additional searching tools.
