The National Sea Grant Depository, NSGD, is an information and documentation center established by the Office of Sea Grant in 1971 at the University of Rhode Island's Pell Marine Science Library. NSGD aims to ensure that all publications generated by the National Sea Grant Program are available in a single location for loan and archival purposes. NSGD is the only collection of its kind which extends borrowing privileges throughout the world. The collection consists primarily of reprints, technical reports, marine advisory reports, and summaries from conference proceedings. Hard copy materials are computer catalogued.
Materials are available through inter-library loan.
The collection may also be used on-site. Packaged literature searches are also conducted on selected topics. Contact NSGD for a copy of the yearly Sea Grant Publications Index or the monthly Sea Grant Acquisitions List.
