• Oceanography on the Net
  encompassed oceanographic resources on the Web: directories of institutions, data services, publications, web pathfinder guides, scholarly society and related resources. I maintained it from 1994-1999 but it became too broad and time-consuming an effort for one person.
• Bibliographic Archaeology & Support Efforts:
  I didn't create these bibliographies, but I converted them from old files and formats, maintaining them over the years, with some now available on the Scripps or Scripps Library's eScholarship Repository site: Annotated Bibliography Fisheries Species and Oil/Gas Platforms Offshore California; Bibliography and Literature Database, Ecology of the Southern California Bight; Southern/Northern California Coastal Processes Annotated Bibliography; SIO Contributions Bibliography; Whale Shark Bibliography; Baja California Islands Flora and Vertebrate Fauna Bibliography; Bibliographia Nudibranchia; Selected Abstracts & Bibliography of International Oil Spill Research; Southern California Channel Islands Bibliography; Hoyt's Bibliography on the Early Life History of Fishes; Lake Baikal Bibliography.

  Former bibliographic support endeavors: Hopkins Marine Station Student Paper Bibliography; IUCN Publications Bibliography; SIO's Research Activities Bulletin
