Endnote users: there is a filter for importing records
from CSA's suite of enviroment and pollution databases, available
from Endnote.
None of the CSA provided files are yet searchable using EndNote's
Z39.50 capability.
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.
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 cderksen@marine 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.
(Stanford-affiliated users only)
Summary: Includes abstracts of journal articles, monographs, reports
and other publication formats on water resources as treated in the
life, physical and social sciences and the related engineering and
legal aspects of the characteristics, supply condition, conservation,
control, use, or management of water resources.
Endnote users: there is a filter for importing records
from Cambridge Scientific Abstracts' version of Water Resources
Abstracts, available from Endnote.
None of the CSA provided files are yet searchable using EndNote's
Z39.50 capability.
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 and Swain libraries, 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.
Full Text Materials Note: some titles may
be restricted to use by the Stanford community only.
For more complete listings: search SOCRATES
- Stanford's Web-based Catalog 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 - 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
