Cyamus Regional Group

About Cyamus
Spanish version (en espanol)

The Cyamus regional group encompasses the West Coast of North America and Hawaii; including Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, Baja California, and Hawaii. Members represent academic, governmental and private institutions concerned with the marine and aquatic environments.

Annual Meetings
Annual meetings are held in the spring, giving members the opportunity to visit relevant libraries and as a forum to exchange ideas between the annual IAMSLIC conferences. Past meeting notes and annual reports to IAMSLIC are available in the archive.

The next meeting will be held March 26-30, 2010 at the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

The most recent IAMSLIC conference was held September 27 - October 1, 2009 in Bruges, Belgium.

Other Activities
Many Cyamus libraries contribute to the Union List of Marine and Aquatic Serials which includes library holdings of selected participating libraries. A collection of links to Cyamus Member Library Catalogs and Finding Aids has also been gathered to facilitate resource sharing.

Cyamus has also started funding digitization projects by its members. Digitized material is submitted to the IAMSLIC repository, Aquatic Commons.

We welcome all interested members and non-members to join us. For more information about Cyamus activities contact:
