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

美国地质学会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辑、编辑、制作和分发南极书目和寒区科学与技术书目。它于2000年在国家科学基金会颁发的OPP-9909727奖下开始执行这一项目。这些书目是世界上最重要的数据库，提供了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年开始实施该项目，直到2000年。AGI将继续扩大其国家和国际数据交换网络，以提高其全面性。此外，科学家个人和其他人也可以推荐网站上描述的其他书目。这些参考书目通过网络和CD-ROM分发。该网站酌情链接到所引用出版物的全文。将对地理信息系统的检索选项进行评估。AGI制作了GeoRef，这是地球科学的主要书目服务，因此以合理的努力汇编寒冷地区的书目，同时用最近的创新来加强它们。可以在http://www.coldregions.org.What上搜索到的参考文献是该项目的学术价值吗？该项目通过加强对寒冷地区研究信息的获取和传播，保留了所有学科的科研记录。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调整用途的信息结合在一起，提供了继续改进和扩展书目的机会。该项目的更广泛影响是什么？该项目通过提供获取寒冷地区文献的途径，支持跨科学学科的研究和教育基础设施。这些区域对于理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.
