About the Library

The NOAA Library Network Consortium consists of 19 NOAA libraries placed at different facilities across the U.S. including Alaska and Hawaii. We represent four line offices including Ocean Atmosphere Research (OAR), NOAA Fisheries, National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and National Ocean Service (NOS).

Help support inclusion of all your NOAA authored or funded works into the NOAA Institutional Repository by creating a personal ORCID account.

ORCID logo with tagline reading "connecting research and researchers."

New Online Catalog

Exlibris – Primo

The discovery catalog searches across many digital platforms including Science Direct, Web of Science, Taylor and Francis, Elsevier, and many more.  It also includes NOAA’s 19 library print collections. Returned results include both print and online materials.  Filters include peer-reviewed and open access items. Exportable to RIS and Endnote citation management systems. NOAA logon is not required to browse titles but may be required to access some linked pages.

Electronic Resources

Research and writing is an intensive process that may come in fits and starts. Researcher may review hundreds of websites, read dozens of articles, and refer to many books. It is critical for the author to keep track of who said what and reference accordingly. EndNote is a product design to help you do that. Version 20 is more comprehensive and easier to use than ever.

Predatory Journals & Publishers

Predatory journals are an increasing threat to our scientific community.  The impact of trusting or publishing in one of these publications can range from lost fees, to poor or non-existent peer review policies. Here are some steps to help you decide if a publication is predatory.

Bibliometrics

Data about how many times an article has been cited by other authors generating an author’s h-index as indexed in Web of Science a fee based database. The Library subscribes to Web of Science to generate article citation reports & analysis,  including “hot” articles, organizational, geographical, subject and other data.  Requests are welcomed.
