Support to Transition the Cold Regions Bibliography and the Antarctic Bibliography to mainstream bibliographic search systems

寒冷地区书目项目通过确保学生、研究人员和其他对极地研究感兴趣的人获得和传播有关地区的信息，在保存所有科学学科的国际极地科学研究记录方面发挥了至关重要的作用。在过去的十年里，美国地质研究所一直支持和维护南极书目，作为寒冷地区书目项目的一部分。互联网搜索引擎的技术进步使研究人员更容易找到同行评议的关于南极洲的文献，而不需要书目编写者预先选择。这一事实，再加上鼓励研究人员在同行评议的期刊上发表他们的成果，以及基于网络的科学出版物数据库的出现，使更广泛的社区更容易获得研究成果。考虑到这些因素和互联网搜索引擎的进步，决定制定一项计划，以促进书目向主流出版物资源的过渡。该计划将保持对现有材料、可搜索的书目数据库、《南极日报》和《华尔街日报》前身出版物的访问。《南极书目》的网站设计于本世纪初，现在的格式已经过时。目前的南极书目搜索软件需要每年的许可费，不再是可搜索书目数据库的标准。网站将被重新设计，可搜索的数据库将被转移到目前在美国各地许多图书馆使用的开源搜索软件。书目数据有两种格式。这两种格式将合并用于搜索目的，以提供统一的界面。一旦网站得到修订，搜索平台开始运作，就有可能将网站作为档案保存下来。

The Cold Regions Bibliography Project has served a critical need in preserving the international polar science research record across all scientific disciplines by ensuring access to and dissemination of the information on the regions to students, researchers, and others interested in polar research.For the last decade, the American Geological Institute has supported and maintained the Antarctic Bibliography as part of the Cold Regions Bibliography Project. Technological advances in Internet search engines have made it easier for researchers to find peer-reviewed literature on Antarctica without pre-selection by bibliographers. This fact combined with the fact that researchers are encouraged to publish their results in peer-reviewed journals and the emergence of web-based scientific publication databases have made research results much more accessible to a broader community. Considering these factors and the advances in Internet search engines, it was decided to develop a plan to facilitate the transition of the bibliography to mainstream publication resources. This plan will maintain access to existing materials, the searchable bibliographic database, the Antarctic Journal, and the Journal's predecessor publications.The web site for the Antarctic Bibliography, designed in the early 2000s, is now in a format that is outdated. The current search software for the Antarctic Bibliography requires annual license fees and is no longer the norm for searchable bibliographic databases. The web site will be re-designed, and the searchable database will be moved to an open-source search software now in current use throughout the U.S. in many libraries. The bibliographic data exists in two formats. These two formats will be merged for search purposes to provide a unified interface. Once the website is revised and the search platform is operational, it will be possible to maintain the site as an archive.
