The National Sea Grant Library, NSGL, (formerly known as the National Sea Grant Depository) was established in 1970 as an archive and lending library for Sea Grant funded documents. These documents cover a wide variety of subjects, including oceanography, marine education, aquaculture, fisheries, limnology, coastal zone management, marine recreation and law.
Today, NSGL staff lends documents all over the world to aid scientists, teachers, students, fishermen and many other individuals in their research and studies. The NSGL is unique in that it houses the only complete collection (including 30,000 titles and a total of 90,000 documents) of Sea Grant funded work
The NSGL also maintains a 36,000 record bibliographic database that is searchable from this website. Here you may obtain citations and abstracts of Sea Grant publications and in many cases you may access a full text copy of the document online.

The Geophiosical observatory was founded by Francesco IV d'Este in 1826 in the east-facing Tower (built in 1634) of the Ducal Palace (where is located also the Militar Accademy). It was an act that embodied an interest in astronomy in Modena dating back to 1650.
The Museum is a living example of scientific laboratory betwen 1820 and 1920. Although it is endowed with much older instrumentm of particular note are the astronomical observatiopn instruments (Fraunhofer's Telescope, 1821; G.B.Amici's telescope, 1815; Reichenbach and Ertel's meridian circle, 1815; G.B.Amici's astronomical instrument for star passages, 1826) and standards of measurement (Biot-Regnault's divide machine and comparator, 1850). The last mentioned stress the rapid adaptation to the decimal metric system.
Also worthy of note is the meteorological terrace where daily observation are still made, now by means an automatical datalogger. These, in fact, have contributed to historical records wich have led to the study of climatic variations. the old observation books are of special interest for their accuracy and their comments on politics and current event.
