Library Operations Coordination
Library Operations Coordination - Interaction with Library Operations is a vital component in the success of the support of GCMRC’s monitoring and research projects. Coordination with Library Operations facilitates the support of research activities in two key aspects:
- The Library provides a centralized repository for hard copy information such as books, reports, maps, photography, and videos. A fundamental function of the library is to provide funded researchers access and use of these library’s materials unique to the GCMRC collection.
- The Library has also implemented a consistent peer review process to help ensure the quality of scientific projects conducted by the GCMRC. The Peer Review Protocols developed and administered by the library are utilized in the NPS permitting process for external review of project proposals prior to submittal to the NPS Research Office for review and approval.
