- SIBERGEN database: Siberian and Far East
geology and environment.
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.
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).
The database indexes geologic, geophysical, geochemical, geochronologic,
and paleontologic information. Listed are maps produced by the U.S.
Geological Survey, some state geological surveys, and other institutions;
coverage is primarily that of U.S. areas. Currently, the database
covers primarily, the USGS thematic map series: Geologic Quadrangles,
Folios, etc. USGS Open-file maps and state survey maps are in the
process of being indexed.
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 .
1974-present.Summary: SciSearch(r) at LANL is the application developed
by Los Alamos National Laboratory to search SciSearch, an electronic
database based upon the Science Citation Index(r), an international,
multidisciplinary index to the journal literature of science and
technology (100 disciplines) produced by the Institute for Science
Information(r). SciSearch is also available through limited ports
to ISI's Web of Science
now part of ISI's Web of Knowledge. Be sure to close your session
when using this access, as ports are limited. Search results
may vary when using LANL's versus ISI's interfaces.
Stanford Only
Updated weekly, SciSearch covers the 3,300 journals from Science
Citation Index(r) plus an additional 1,300 science and technology
journals. It indexes every article and significant item--including
letters, notes, corrections, and editorials. Be sure to read
the database help messages. This database is not searched in the
same ways as are other databases at Stanford.
Endnote users: there is a filter for importing records
from LANL's version of SciSearch, available from LANL (http://lib-www.lanl.gov/filters).
None of the LANL provided files are yet searchable using EndNote's
Z39.50 capability.
Database mounted on Workstations C & D in the Branner Library.
Summary: 1990-present. Provides full abstracts and bibliographic
records in English to the geological and environmental information
published mostly in Russian and covering regional problems of Siberia,
Far East, Central Asia, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia.

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

Listed here are a selected few of the dictionaries and handbooks
available in Branner Library, designed to give you a flavor of the
types of information available. Either come in and browse the shelves
or browse Socrates if
you can't find the information you need in one of these.

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 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
