PresenterPresentation NotesShannon & Peter

Our goal with this presentation is to provide an overview for PLC of the various international libraries, archives, and databases for polar information that are currently available online. We found sources by combining our own information and by conducting a survey of PLC members and non-member Polar librarians. During the course of this presentation, we will also discuss how our members and the broader community (including our users) might better discover, access, and use these resources.

Overview

•Survey Results•What resources do you use?

•How can we link and share resources?
