A joint endeavor of the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress and the US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), this project disseminates information on Antarctica and cold regions science and technology "by maintaining and continually updating a database which is an accumulation of over 40 years of materials on the science and technology of the world's cold regions." This database currently contains over 208,000 records, with about 6,000 accessions annually. After entering a supplied user id and password, users can search the database by keyword, author, or year of publication. Search returns include title, source, and a link to more information, including pages, notes, series, and publisher information. A DOS version of the database is also available for limited periods to qualified researchers. More information is available at the site.
