Hi,
Sorry for the delay in responding; it was out of my control...and we
are all very happy to be back.
I did not see that anyone cited this in the response e-mails, so it
may be of interest:
Our database of the databases (and datasets) for the U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS) are in USGS ScienceBase:

As of October 1, 2013, the USGS Library is administratively part of
the USGS Core Science Analytics and Synthesis (CSAS) group;
http://www.usgs.gov/core_science_systems/csas/index.html
-- still within the USGS Core Science Systems (CSS) part of the USGS:

USGS CSAS supports USGS Data Management:

- for example, USGS Data Management, Preservation:

Also, USGS CSAS is part of DataONE:
