DGGS Geologic Earth Resource Library of Alaska (GERILA) Database, Digital Data Series 22, is the enterprise database back-end to the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Survey's (DGGS) website and enterprise data repository. GERILA serves as an index to geologic information that supports State of Alaska statutes relating to the potential of Alaskan land for the production of metals, minerals, fuels, and geothermal resources, the locations and supplies of groundwater and construction material (Sec. 41.08.010), and the potential geologic hazards to buildings, roads, bridges, and other installations and structures and systematic collection, recording, evaluation, and distribution of hydrological and seismic hazard data declared to be of public interest (Sec. 41.08.017). Much of the information stored in GERILA is viewable through DGGS's public website, which provides search interfaces for specific data modules, including our geologic publications catalog (https://dggs.alaska.gov/pubs). The database is actively updated as new information becomes available or published. Consequently, products developed from the database may change over time as information and data are updated. DGGS encourages public members to contact DGGS's Geologic Information Center staff (dggspubs@alaska.gov) to discuss potential changes to the data or resolve errors in our derivative products.

Metadata and data derived from Butte Stope Books. The underground mine openings are generally referred to as stopes; detailed maps of the stopes were recorded from field books to a master Stope Book for each mine.

I wanted to find good data about representation and diversity in literature, which brought me to the following page of the Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC): https://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/literature-resources/ccbc-diversity-statistics/. The following is data on books by and about Black, Indigenous and People of Color published for children and teens compiled by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center, School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison.

There are two .csv files in the data set. One shows books received by the CCBC from US publishers per year that are authored and/or illustrated by a Black/African/Indigenous/Asian/Pacific Islander/Latinx person, and the other shows books received by the CCBC from US publishers per year that feature a BIPOC character. Further explanation can be found at the CCBC FAQ page.

Please note that for 2018 and 2019, the below .csv represent Asian/Pacific Islander people as one column, which is how the CCBC published the data between 2002-2017. Also note that the attached data are not the entire data collected by the CCBC. The CCBC also collects books from international publishers, and since 2018, the CCBC has been publishing data about books by/about Arabs.

All data was collected by the CCBC. Please see the following page (with the complete data) about how to cite the data in your publications/blogs/notebooks: https://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/literature-resources/ccbc-diversity-statistics/books-by-about-poc-fnn/.

I am curious to see what sorts of visualizations people can make in exploratory analysis of this data! Also, can you predict how many BIPOC books the CCBC will receive in 2020? What happens when you study against US population data?
