As a staff member at Minneapolis Public Library, I was thrilled that we subscribed to this wonderful database. I'm so glad you mentioned it, Mark. The best news is that you don't have to live in Minneapolis to use it.
To find Birds of North America from the library home page http://www.mplib.org , click on Research Tools at the top of the page, then on Online Databases. Birds of North America is under the Science and Technology category (or use the link for an alphabetical list of the databases). You will be asked to enter your library card information to use it. If you have a library card from almost any Minnesota library, you can register it online by following the links from "Get A Card" on the left side of the home page. Registering your library card will allow you access to the database.
