ABSTRACT The Arctic Bibliography is comprehensive guide to the literature of the Arctic region from the earliest writings through 1975. The Bibliography includes publications on the history, languages, peoples, archaeology, anthropology, industry, settlements, exploration expeditions, geology, mining and minerals, paleontology, climate, and geography of the region. Among the publications cited are original sources, the chronicles, diaries and accounts of the people who lived there. All the sources were seen by the compilers of the Bibliography and it includes abstracts and the names of the libraries where the documents can be consulted. In short, the Bibliography is an important tool for Arctic research. Presently, sets of the Arctic Bibliography can be consulted in only a few libraries, and it is in danger of being forgotten in current research. This project is to produce an electronic version of the Arctic Bibliography. By this means, the contents of the Bibliography will be preserved intact, and can be incorporated into CDs containing other data on the Arctic, and also be made searchable over the Internet. Permanent access to the Bibliography will be assured. The database would be available in a simplified version of the UNISIST Reference Manual format, a tag-data format without headers, which is well-suited to processing on today's microcomputers. It would also be available in the MARC format, which is the format used in the majority of the online library catalogs in the United States, and widely used in other countries. As is common with conversions of a print bibliography to a database, the resulting file would be easier to use and afford more access points than the print original. All words in the abstracts and titles would be searchable in the database. Depending on the search software involved, all words anywhere in the data could be made searchable, and searching using statistical methods to determine relevancy could be employed.

摘要 北极参考书目是北极地区文献的综合指南，从最早的著作到 1975 年。该参考书目包括有关该地区历史、语言、民族、考古学、人类学、工业、定居点、探险、地质、采矿和矿物、古生物学、气候和地理的出版物。 引用的出版物包括原始资料、编年史、日记和居住在那里的人们的记述。 参考书目的编译者可以看到所有来源，其中包括摘要和可以查阅文档的图书馆的名称。 总之，参考书目是北极研究的重要工具。 目前，只有少数图书馆可以查阅北极参考书目集，并且在当前的研究中存在被遗忘的危险。 该项目旨在制作北极参考书目的电子版。 通过这种方式，参考书目的内容将被完整保存，并且可以被纳入包含北极其他数据的CD中，也可以通过互联网进行搜索。 将确保永久访问参考书目。 该数据库将以 UNISIST 参考手册格式的简化版本提供，这是一种没有标题的标签数据格式，非常适合在当今的微型计算机上进行处理。 它还将以 MARC 格式提供，这是美国大多数在线图书馆目录使用的格式，并在其他国家/地区广泛使用。 正如将印刷书目转换为数据库的常见情况一样，生成的文件比印刷原始文件更易于使用并提供更多访问点。 摘要和标题中的所有单词都可以在数据库中搜索。 根据所涉及的搜索软件，数据中任何位置的所有单词都可以被搜索，并且可以采用使用统计方法来确定相关性的搜索。
