Use SOCRATES — Stanford's Web-based Catalog to find the location of needed books, journals, maps, data files, and technical reports.
If you can't find what you need in SOCRATES, check other Library catalogs or send a question to (Stanford only) to Branner Reference staff: at branner@pangea.stanford.edu.
If Stanford doesn't have a document (article, map, book, report) that you need, fill out the appropriate online form:
- Document Delivery Request Forms:
- Request for yourself from RLCP Libraries: UC-B or UT-Austin
Listed here are a selected few of the dictionaries and handbooks available in Branner, designed to give you a flavor of the types of information available. Come in and browse the shelves or consult Socrates if you can't find the information you need in the volumes below.
Note: some titles may be restricted to use by the Stanford community only.
For more complete listings: search SOCRATES for the availability of journals, maps or other items. Display the full record to obtain the URL, determine number of accessible volumes, or confirm access restrictions, if any.
Note: For GIS Data sets see: Branner Library GIS Data Collection and Web Sites for Digital GIS Data.
Search SOCRATES for data sets on cd-roms or other media that can be checked out. For best results go to Socrates' expert screen: using an everything field, type "cd or compact or disk or disks or discs or disc or diskette?" AND the subject for which you want the data. For example for earthquakes you might search "earthquake or earthquakes or seismic or seismology" in another everything field. If you retrieve too much either use subject instead of everything OR add the place that you want, for example: subject California. To request additional data sets or help in locating information: send email to branner@pangea.stanford.edu (Stanford Community Members Only).
