Resource Library

SERC holds over 500 publications related to Somerset's natural environment. We have copies of biodiversity strategies, field survey reports and county atlases, to give a few examples. You will normally need to visit our offices in Wellington to view these documents. Please contact us to arrange an appointment.

Search for documents

Enter one or more words into the search field; without using any punctuation, just spaces between words. The search engine will identify documents that contain all specified words. For example, you can look for all habitat survey documents in Mendip by typing in: mendip habitat survey. Both taxa and location are comprehensively listed, for example: ‘Pipistrelle’ may be found under animals, mammals, bats, or pipistrelle. ‘Daggs Lane’ may be found under Mendip, Meare, or Daggs Lane.

The search engine is looking through the following fields in the library database:

• Author - e.g. Mr Ian Frederick Jones = Jones or Jones, I.F.
• Title - specific sites, species etc.
• Year - last publication/production date e.g. 2003
• Type of Document - survey, book, project report, annual report etc.
• Keyword - there are five keyword categories; Habitats, Taxa, Status, Location, Other.
