  • Creating a Geo-Referenced Bibliography with Google Earth and Geocommons: The Coos Bay Bibliography Schmitt, Jenni Butler, Barb Bibliographies Bibliographic Databases Reference Materials Reference Services Geography Computer Software Geographic Location Geographic Regions Geographic Information Systems Library Development Program Descriptions Research Reports Cartography College Libraries We compiled a geo-referenced bibliography of research including theses, peer-reviewed articles, agency literature, and books having sample collection sites in and around Coos Bay, Oregon. Using Google Earth and GeoCommons we created a map that allows users such as visiting researchers, faculty, students, and local agencies to identify previous research conducted in their location of interest. There are links to specific citations and, if available, full-text documents. The interactive map allows users to zoom and filter for specific layers of interest. The bibliography was created and is maintained in EndNote, but a searchable PDF version resides in our institutional repository (Butler and Schmitt 2012).
