About Us

Sea Grant encourages the wise stewardship of our marine resources through research, education, outreach, and technology transfer. The NSGL is committed to providing easy access to the wealth of information generated by the Sea Grant Program.

The Digital Collection

The NSGL provides access to over 15,000 electronic Sea Grant documents via the publications database. From the search results page you may link directly to these digital documents, which are mostly in pdf and html formats. Another means of accessing many Sea Grant digital documents is through the Digital Libraries series, where patrons have the option of browsing a list of subject-related titles.

The Print Collection

The print collection consists of over 36,000 titles, including the following types of documents: journal reprints, books, technical reports, maps, proceedings, newsletters, advisory reports, handbooks, curriculum guides, videos, CD-Roms, computer programs and other miscellaneous types of documents.

Our Services

Many of our documents are available electronically, but if a digital copy is unavailable or a hardcopy loan is preferred, we will provide a one-month loan. Reference, online search services, and Ask a Librarian are also provided. All of our services are provided free of charge.
