Online Marine BooksContents |
This very preliminary list has been compiled from various lists of online textbooks. References here to some titles may result in a partially available copy, but there there are no completely commercial citations here that we know of. Basic criteria used in selecting titles for this list are that the resource must be an online, substantially free, comprehensive monograph covering a topic of interest to marine data and information managers.
