Discovery of Indigenous Publication Records via Geology Library Tools

Geology library catalogs and databases can more easily deliver access to water and mineral information by indigenous authors, as well as provide the preferred terminologies to hydrologic, geologic and geographic names within indigenous languages. This session will include several examples of publications for water, rock and land resources by indigenous researchers and(or) in cooperation with indigenous communities, and provide researchers with sources and ideas of how to enhance the discovery of geosciences research in or near indigenous landscapes.

Meet the Facilitator: Emily C. Wild is the Chemistry, Geosciences and Environmental Studies Librarian in the Princeton University Library. In 2022, Emily received the Geosciences Information Society’s (GSIS) 2022 Mary B. Ansari Distinguished Service Award for Geosciences Librarianship. Emily has a Bachelor of Arts in Geology from Hartwick College, and a Master of Library and Information Studies from the University of Rhode Island. She helps library users find and use science and legislative materials, provides bibliographic and data access instruction, as well as develops and presents online and in-person training sessions on topics such as chemical and physical properties of the atmosphere, rock, sediment, and water; crustal geochemistry and geophysics, organic and inorganic chemistry, and trends in use and availability of mineral, energy, and water resources. Prior to working at Princeton University, Emily was a hydrologist and librarian from 1996 to 2018 at the United States Geological Survey (USGS), researching and publishing in the subject areas of water use, groundwater, surface water, coastal waters, saltwater intrusion and water quality. Her past field work experiences include hydrologic and hydrogeologic research in Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, as well as geologic mapping in the Grand Canyon, Arizona; O'ahu, Maui, and Island of Hawai'i, Hawai'i; San Salvador Island, Bahamas; Adirondacks, Catskills, Finger Lakes, and Hudson River, New York; Whaleback Anticline, Pennsylvania; and Green Mountains, Vermont.
