The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Central
Library announces the publication of "International Polar Year
2007-2008: Resources on Polar Research in the NOAA Central Library
Network: A Selected Bibliography."

Prepared to support IPY activities, the bibliography reflects the NOAA
Library Network's unique printed and online resources on exploration and
research in the polar regions from the 18th century to the present. The
bibliography is organized into four sections:
- What is the International Polar Year?;
- Historical resources on polar research in the NOAA Central Library
Special Collections;
- Current resources on polar research in the NOAA Central Library
Network; and
- Internet resources on polar research.

The bibliography is organized by titles and contains all formats,
including print, CD-ROM, online full-text documents, digital videos,
digital images, online cruise data, and Internet resources. This
document provides full-text access to significant polar documents in
NOAA Library collections and links to over 150 historically unique,
scanned documents as well as to scientific datasets available online via
the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) Ocean Archive System.

The bibliography is also published online under the NOAA Library and
Information Services Current Reference Series 2006-1 and is available to
the international community via the NOAA Central Library's website and
its online catalog, NOAALINC, at:
