Monteverde Research Links
Local Monteverde-Based Research Documents
The goal of this initiative is to provide a single access point to Monteverde-based research information that is freely and publicly available on the Internet. Under the direction of Laurie Kutner, Library Associate professor at the University of Vermont and with support from graduate students from the Syracuse University School of Information Studies, sites have been identified and selected for inclusion based on the following criteria:

do the sites represent original research that has been done in the Monteverde area?
is the site's primary focus on Monteverde-based research?

Due to copyright restrictions, we cannot include direct links to research already published as journal articles or elsewhere, unless they are available in open access publications.

When using the collection, please keep in mind where the information is coming from: who created the document and for what purpose? On what sort of website is it being presented?

For questions related to the collection or to suggest documents for inclusion, please contact Laurie Kutner, laurie.kutner@uvm.edu.
