Operation, Enhancement and Distribution of the Antarctic Bibliography and the Bibliography on Cold Regions Science and Technology

美国地质研究所将代表美国国家科学基金会和美国陆军寒区研究与工程实验室编纂、编辑、制作和分发《南极参考书目》和《寒区科学与技术参考书目》。该项目于2000年在美国国家科学基金会OPP-9909727奖下开始实施。这些书目是世界上最重要的数据库，提供几乎所有与世界寒冷地区有关的科学出版物的信息。美国国会图书馆从1951年开始到2000年一直在执行这个项目。AGI将继续扩展其国内和国际数据交换网络，以提高全面性。此外，个别科学家和其他人可以推荐网站上描述的其他标题。书目通过网络和CD-ROM分发。该网站在适当的地方链接到被引用出版物的全文。将评估用于检索的GIS选项。AGI生产GeoRef，这是地球科学的主要书目服务，因此在合理的努力下汇编了寒冷地区的书目，同时通过最近的创新增强了它们。参考书目可以在http://www.coldregions.org.What上搜索，这个项目的智力价值是什么？该项目通过加强对寒冷地区研究信息的获取和传播，保存了所有学科的科学研究记录。新的传播技术将网络技术与从出版商和研究人员那里获得的重新定位的信息相结合，为继续改进和扩展书目提供了机会。项目的更广泛影响是什么？该项目通过提供对寒区文献的访问来支持跨科学学科的研究和教育基础设施。这些地区对于了解全球系统以及在极地地区和其他寒冷地区进行的其他研究至关重要。

The American Geological Institute will compile, edit, produce, and distribute the Antarctic Bibliography and the Bibliography on Cold Regions Science and Technology on behalf of the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory. It began performing this project in 2000 under NSF award OPP-9909727. These bibliographies are the world's premier databases for information about virtually all scientific publications relevant to the world's cold regions. The Library of Congress performed the project from its inception in 1951 until 2000.AGI will continue to extend its national and international data exchange network to improve comprehensiveness. Also, individual scientists and others can recommend additional titles as described on the web site.The bibliographies are distributed via web and CD-ROM. The web site links to the full texts of cited publications where appropriate. GIS options for retrieval will be evaluated.AGI produces GeoRef, the primary bibliographic service for the geosciences, and thus compiles the cold-regions bibliographies with a reasonable effort while enhancing them with recent innovations. The bibliographies can be searched to at http://www.coldregions.org.What is the intellectual merit of the project?The project preserves the scientific research record across all disciplines by enhancing access to and dissemination of research information about cold regions. New dissemination techniques combining web technology with repurposed information obtained from publishers and researchers provides the opportunity to continue improving and extending the bibliographies.What are the broader impacts of the project?The project supports the research and education infrastructure across the scientific disciplines by providing access to cold regions literature. These regions are critical for understanding the global system and for other research that is best performed in Polar regions and other cold regions.
