  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;All previously published libraries of infrared mineral spectra are in the form of transmittance. &amp;nbsp;Reflectance spectra are, however, more useful for remote sensing and some&amp;nbsp;potential laboratory applications, such as the use of an infrared microscope for mineral&amp;nbsp;identification on polished sections. This note points out that construction of a new library&amp;nbsp;of infrared (2.1-25.0 &lt;span&gt;&amp;mu;&lt;/span&gt;m) mineral spectra is in progress. Both transmittance and reflectance&amp;nbsp;measurements of a selection of 63 different, well-characteized minerals have been published&amp;nbsp;to date. These data are available in both hard copy and digital form.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
