	Description 
		Abstract:
		This bibliographic database includes 1,913 references to the literature 
		of the Rio Grande (Rio Bravo del Norte). The specific geographic area

		Dam in New Mexico to the Gulf of Mexico. The bibliography focuses
		on the biological literature, divided into major subject areas, and also 
		includes supporting literature from the physical and environmental 
		sciences. The database is available in a searchable format on the 
		Internet home page of the U.S Geological Survey, Biological 
		Resources Division, Environmental and Contaminants Research 
		Center.
		Purpose:
		We have compiled this bibliography for researchers, resource 
		managers, planners and policy makers to makeaccessible what is 
		known about the biology of this region.

	Overview Description 
		Entity and Attribute Overview: 
			 The dataset was created using ProCite's 45 different fields 
			(e.g. title, analytic; date of publication, etc.) plus record number, 
			organized into the standard workforms provided by the software 
			(e.g. Book, chapter; Conference Proceedings, etc.). The 
			standard "report" workform was modified to create a "report, whole"
			and "report, section" workform.  The output style was based on the 
			CBE (Council of Biological Editors) name-year style, with 
			slight modifications.
