Peer review functions are contained within the library and website <br />functions are contained within systems administration. These functions combine to provide easy <br />access to high quality products in an automated fashion. With the exception of the website, <br />operating procedures for these programs and functions have been developed and implemented <br />and the programs are fully functional. The website is currently undergoing an extensive overhaul <br />based upon recommendations of an ad-hoc committee ,composed of GCMRC, AMWG, and <br />TWG members. <br /> <br />Library services <br />The library contains the historic record of information gathered on the CRE and provides <br />access to this information to our constituency. This is made possible through the establishment of <br />a strict information routing protocol within GCMRC and a computerized library catalog. The <br />information routing protocol ensures that information delivered to GCMRC is received by the <br />library for inclusion into its collection. <br />The library catalog provides a comprehensive c;atalog of individual library content and <br />where they are located. Library content consists of books, reports, and journal article reprints <br />resulting from monitoring and research activities in the: CRE and elsewhere; aerial and oblique <br />photography and imagery; videotapes containing videography (aerial video) and video of <br />programs related to the CRE; and maps. Most of this information is in hardcopy form and is only <br />available by visiting or contacting the library. However, more and more information is being <br />made available in digital form. The library catalog and some digital content are available from <br />the GCMRC website. <br />The library facilitates monitoring and research by providing a centralized repository for <br />hard copy information such as books, reports, maps, photography, and videos. The singularity of <br />many library holdings require a special policy concerning the borrowing of these materials. If <br />GCMRC FY2006 Annual Work Plan (Draft February 15,2005) <br />
