The in-house collection also includes CDs, DVDs, and microfilm. The NOAALinc online catalog features over one million titles from the combined collections of NOAA's 30 libraries across the country and features over 1 million print titles that link to full-text when available. The e-collection of serials provides direct access to all of the >Americane Meteorological Society titles, Climate Change, Natural Hazards, Natural Hazards Review, Science News, Weather, Weatherwise and many other titles and databases including Web of Science.
At the heart of this specialized collection are reports, memorandums and studies on tropical cyclones and meteorology, produced by all divisions of NOAA.
