Indexes
Indexes will lead you to articles in journals and series and papers
in conference proceedings, as well as technical reports. There are
six indexes of major importance for Paleontology, Petroleum Geology,
Sedimentary Petrology, and Stratigraphy .
Most Important Indexes
- Current Index to Statistics
Search by title or keyword by entering terms in the
Subject box and selecting from the pull-down menu, which fields
are to be searched. Search an author's names without any punctuation,
including apostrophes and commas, e.g. "journel" or "journel andre".

Other Indexes of Interest
GEOBASE, GEOARCHIVE, and PASCAL
Geobase (1980 - present) covers the worldwide literature on geography,
geology, ecology, their related disciplines. In particular, coverage
includes: climatology, landforms, mineralogy, photogrammetry, remote
sensing and tectonics. It is the online version of Geographical
Abstracts.
Geoarchive (1974 - present) is a British geoscience database, covering
geology, geochemistry, geophysics, paleontology, stratigraphy, mathematical
geology, planetology, oceanology, and engineering geology. Particular
emphasis is given to economic geology, hydrology, water resources,
environment, and conservation. Coverage is considered worldwide.
Pascal (1973-present) is a multidisciplinary database produced
by the CNRS (France). It covers all aspects of the earth sciences,
as well as biology, chemistry, civil engineering energy, and physics.
These databases are available at cost from Dialog. Request a database
search as needed; send email to Julie
Sweetkind-Singer Stanford Only.
1785 - Present. Summary: The American Geological Institute's geoscience
database containing over 2.2 million records of North America since
1785 and other areas of the world since 1933. It is the equivalent
of four major reference publications: Bibliography of North American
Geology; Bibliography and index of Geology exclusive of North America;
Geophysical abstracts; and, Bibliography and index of Geology. Help
is available at the site.
Endnote users: there is a filter for importing records
from CSA's version of GeoRef, available from Endnote.
None of the CSA provided files are yet searchable using EndNote's
Z39.50 capability.
The GeoRef Preview Database
consists of references to recent geoscience publications. Caution:
This data is in process for inclusion in GEOREF. It may not yet
have been indexed, been given a translated title, or been checked
by a GEOREF editor when you see it. Each weekend, completed references
are removed from the Preview database and transferred to GeoRef,
new references are added, and changes are made in the remaining
data. Two views of the database are available: Subject and Journal.
A word search is also provided. The word search includes all words
in the reference, the abstract, if any, and index terms, if the
reference has already been indexed.
The GeoRef
In Process database or GRIP file is now available from CSA only.
Stanford Only. GRIP consists of references to documents
published before 1995. The references are from databases and print
bibliographies produced by surveys or institutions in: Canada, China,
the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Russia or Spain. These In-Process
Records are being edited and indexed, and on completion, will be
transferred out of GeoRef in Process, into GeoRef.
Petroleum
Abstracts
The last 10 years are available. Stanford Only.
Select the Clients Click Here button.
Summary: Subjects covered include: Geochemistry, Geology, Geophysics,
Drilling, Reservoir Engineering & Recovery Methods, Well Logging
from the worldwide literature on upstream petroleum operations.
Included are conference proceedings, journal articles, government
reports, books and patent filings. Paper index available in Branner
library covers 1964-present. A guide
to search commands is available.
The full text of more than 40,000 technical papers submitted to
the Society of Petroleum Engineers 1951 - present is available.
The collection includes meeting papers, and unsolicited papers,
as well as many of those published in the Journal of petroleum technology
(JPT) and other peer-reviewed SPE journals. Indexing is provided.
Stanford ONLY
Branner Library maintains a full print subscription to all of the
peer-reviewed SPE journals and annual conference as well. A microfiche
set of the papers (1951-1995) is also available in Branner Library.
All SPE Members may access OIL's
index and order papers using their own member number.
Publications Of The USGS
An index to the formal Publications of The USGS:
Bulletins, Professional Papers, Circulars, Water-Supply Papers,
and Thematic Maps is available; this index includes access only
by title words. For author index or for a more comprehensive index
of USGS publications, including Open-file reports and Water Resources
Investigations, use GEOREF,
or the Search Publications
of the USGS. Both of these databases (GeoRef and Pubs of the
USGS) contain references to USGS publications issued 1880-2000;
213 references to reports of the Hayden, King, Powell, and Wheeler
surveys; 15,227 references to non-Survey publications by Survey
authors which appeared in GEOREF from 1983 to Feb. 1989. Coverage
of Open-File reports before 1971 is incomplete. For some Bulletins,
Professional papers, and Open-File reports which have chapters,
there are separate references for each chapter. Many USGS publications
are also listed by author and title in SOCRATES,
Stanford's Web-based Catalog .

National Geochemical Data Base
CD-ROM mounted on Workstations C & D in Branner Library. OBTAIN
AT REFERENCE DESK in Branner. This Data set can also be checked
out for use in the lab or office.
Summary: This CD-ROM contains data for the conterminous United
States collected during the National Uranium Resource Evaluation
(NURE) Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR)
program.
Data Resources Selected
Note: For GIS Data sets see: Branner
Library GIS Data Collection and Web
Sites for Digital GIS Data.
Search SOCRATES — Stanford's
Web-based Catalog for data sets on cd-roms or other media that
can be checked out. For best results go to SearchWorks' 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, Please
Here's a list of some of the most popular digital geospatial data
set collections from USGS. NOTE: Many of the CD-ROMs listed for
purchase on these pages are already available in the Branner Library.
