Alternative Resources for Meteorological Research

Atmospheric science libraries are valuable to patrons for several reasons; they provide access to specialized tools such as "Meteorological and Geoastrophysical Abstracts (MGA)"; they contain high concentrations of relevant works such as "WMO publications"; and they are managed by professionals with extensive knowledge of atmospheric science resources as well as other tools of librarianship. It is via this last aspect; the knowledge and awareness of non-meteorological resources; that atmospheric science librarians can sometimes provide the most assistance to our users. This talk will highlight some non-meteorological and non-scientific resources that can be useful in meteorological research.
