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.
From 1983 through 1992, the National Geophysical Data Center compiled
a comprehensive, computerized bibliography and geochemical database
on offshore marine mineral deposits as a cooperative effort with
the Ocean Minerals and Energy Division of the National Ocean Service
of NOAA, and the Office of International Activities and Marine Minerals
(INTERMAR) of the Minerals Management Service. Additions to the
bibliography and database stopped in 1991. The NOAA & MMS Marine
Minerals CD-ROM Data Set, contains the entire NGDC Marine Minerals
Bibliography and Geochemical Database and several data files compiled
by other organizations. The bibliography and two geochemical databases
are searchable on-line on NGDC's web server. The entire CD-ROM data
set is available at the Branner Library reserve desk.
The NGDC Marine Minerals Bibliography includes references to present-day
marine deposits of ferromanganese nodules and crusts, placers/heavy
minerals, phosphorites, and polymetallic sulfides. The final bibliography
contains citations from 1831 through 1990. Information in the file
includes author, title, publication/serial title, date of publication,
language, etc., as well as several key word categories including
geographic area and type of study conducted. Key words also include
the names of each mineral and each element mentioned in the article.
The NGDC Marine Minerals Geochemical Database contains chemical analyses
and auxiliary information on present-day marine deposits of primarily
ferromanganese nodules and crusts but also contains some data for
heavy minerals.
File in the Branner Library USGS open-file microfiche collection:
550.6.U58o.
Summary: A complete list of references to minerals in the literature
from 1916 to 1988: W.E. Ford began the file in 1916 with the intent
that it should include abstracts of every paper that contains significant
data on the physical and chemical properties of minerals. After
Ford's death in 1939, M. Fleischer continued the file. The coverage
is of course not quite as comprehensive as its aim, especially as
the volume of publication has increased in recent years. During
the Ford years, journals covered included: Mineral. Mag.; Am. Mineral.;
Canadian Mineral.; Bull. Soc. Franc. Mineral. Crist. (now Bull Mineral.);
A. Kristallogr.; Tschermaks Mineral. Petrogr. Mitt.; Periodico Mineral.;
Neues Jahrb. Mineral. Montash.; Neues Jahrb. Mineral. Beil.-Bd.
(now Abh.); Mineral. Abstr.; Neues Jahrb. Mineral. Ref. (later Zentralbl.
Mineral.); and A. Kristallogr. abstracts. Since 1939, in addition
to the preceding journals, Chemical Abstacts and Mineralogical Abstracts
have been consulted. And since 1980, additional journals consulted
have included Contrib. Mineral. Petrol.; Chem Geol.; J. Petrol.;
and Lithos, among others. Through 1977 (OFR 81-1169), 1979-1981
(OFR 81-1174), 1981-1982 (OFR 83-0615), 1983-1988 (OFR 88-0689).
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).
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 .

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
