SORA: Searchable Ornithological Research Archive - "an open access electronic journal archive and is the product of a collaboration between the American Ornithologists Union, the Cooper Ornithological Society, the Association of Field Ornithologists, the Wilson Ornithological Society and the University of New Mexico libraries."
"The content is available in searchable and browseable formats and documents can be downloaded as pdf or djvu files. Djvu files rely on an 'acrobat' type browser plug-in (www.lizardtech.com) for viewing and are approximately 1/4 the size of pdf files for faster downloads. Web browsers must have the ability to read java script (make sure it is turned on)."
