NEW MAP-BASED SEARCH TOOLS AND OTHER FEATURES DEBUTING ON GEOSCIENCEWORLD


MARLEY, Lauren, GeoScienceWorld, 4220 King St, Alexandria, VA 22302, marley@geoscienceworld.org

GeoScienceWorld is a non-profit organization that hosts 39 peer-reviewed geoscience journals which are fully integrated with GeoRef, the premier abstracting and indexing database in the field of earth sciences.

Part of the vision for GeoScienceWorld is to benefit geoscientists and their societies by enhancing and expediting literature searches for research and information. To that end, we will be providing a sneak peek at GeoScienceWorld’s new branding and features debuting this November as part of GeoScienceWorld’s migration to HighWire Press’s H20 platform. This will include a new and interactive map-based means of retrieving GeoRef’s research data. In addition to locating content by latitude and longitudinal coordinates, users can highlight areas on Google Maps™ for dynamic retrieval (sample shown here: http://0ape.com/for_ronl/index_v4.html). Join our session for a demonstration and an exploratory discussion on ideas for future mobile and interactive map-based mobile capabilities.
