NOAA Central Library provides content management support to several Virtual Library Projects at NOAA:

Aquaculture Virtual Library
Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS) Library
Marine Protected Areas Virtual Library
NOAA Restoration Portal

Aquaculture Virtual Library

The Aquaculture Library provides information of interest to scientists and others working with marine aquaculture. While the Aquaculture library focuses on NOAA-related activities and materials, it is also a source for information for others working in the field of aquaculture and related fields. Resources include bibliographies, citations of peer-reviewed articles, and NOAA publications.

Coral Reef Library

The Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS) Library serves as a single point of access to NOAA coral reef information and data products, especially those of NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program. It links to Publications, NOAA Coral Reef web sites, and other coral reef web sites.

Marine Protected Areas Virtual Library

MPA Virtual Library

The MPA Virtual Library is a database of MPA literature and information organized by four collections: Bibliography; (articles, books, reports, proceedings); Institutions and Organizations; Web sites; and Conferences and Workshops. The MPA Virtual Library includes descriptive records and links to full-text when available.
