It contains over 400 Chinese geoscience periodicals and conference publications.
¡¡¡TThe main goal is to digitize all Chinese geoscience literature and create multiple channels for accessing it. An interactive environment for collecting, integrating, storing, organizing, distributing and utilizing information has been created, closely connecting information providers and users and facilitating efficient knowledge sharing.
