The International Polar Year Publications Database (IPYPD) at http://www.nisc.com/ipy has recently been updated. The database now describes 2,957 publications, of which 1,310 are from the fourth (2007-08) IPY.
 The IPYPD is now being produced separately from the Arctic & Antarctic Regions (AAR) database. Following the July 2009 update of AAR, EBSCO Publishing began producing AAR in-house, rather than contracting the work to NISC Export Services. The IPYPD and other records produced since July 2009 by the polar libraries and databases that formerly supplied records to AAR will not appear in AAR until further notice. Please encourage your researchers to report their IPY publications to the IPYPD. They should e-mail a list of references to: - if their publications are about the Antarctic or non-living things to coldregions[at]agiweb.org, - if their publications are about living things (including humans) to librarian[at]spri.cam.ac.uk , or - if their publications are about northern Canada to astis[at]ucalgary.ca. If a researcher e-mails a list of references to any one of these organizations it will be forwarded to the others as necessary. The IPYPD includes both peer-reviewed and grey literature, and in addition to research publications also includes education, outreach and communication publications. It is no problem if the same publication is reported more than once. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact Ross Goodwin from Arctic Science and Technology Information System (ASTIS): rgoodwin[at]ucalgary.ca |
