Field Guides

A "field guide" is a portable, illustrated book to help identify birds, animals, plants, rocks, and other forms within nature. Field guides can be printed books, online resources, or mobile apps.

To find field guides in the library:
Go to library website: https://library.boisestate.edu/
Enter your search terms and include the words "field guide"

Remember: field guides are seldom for a specific animal, so use the animal class or broad terms such as "mammal," "bird," "fish," or "amphibian." Also, guides are for specific countries or regions, so add in a location to focus your search.
