The International Polar Year Publications Database (IPYPD) is now
available online. IPYPD contains bibliographic records for publications
about or resulting from the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2008 and
the three previous IPYs. The database currently contains 60 records and
that number is expected to grow to approximately 20,000 records in the
next ten years.
IPYPD will be updated four times per year. The records in IPYPD feature
citations, detailed subject and geographic indexing terms, abstracts,
and, in most cases, links to full-text online copies of the
publications.
IPYPD is part of the IPY Data and Information Service (IPYDIS) and
researchers, educators, and communicators are requested to report their
publications for inclusion in the database.
IPYPD was created by the Arctic Science and Technology Information
System (ASTIS), Cold Regions Bibliography Project (CRBP), Scott Polar
Research Institute (SPRI) Library, Discovery and Access of Historic
Literature of the IPYs (DAHLI) project, and National Information
Services Corporation (NISC). Other polar bibliographic databases and
libraries are invited to contribute.
