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.
Publications Index The cumulative index of SEG,
EAEG, ASEG and CSEG Publications, 1936-present
Summary: provides access to the Digital Cumulative Index of publications
of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), the European
Association of Exploration Geophysicists (EAEG, the Australian Society
of Exploration Geophysicists (ASEG) and the Canadian Society of
Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG). The database contains 18,800 entries,
and covers the time period 1936-present.
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.
Use SearchWorks - 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:

types of information available. Either come in and browse the shelves
or browse SearchWorks if
you can't find the information you need in one of these.

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 brannerlibrary@stanford.edu
Stanford Community Members Only, Please
Directories, of course, lead you to people, institutions, agencies,
addresses, phone numbers, etc.
These tools are a means of finding photographs, movies or slides
on geophysics topics.
Multimedia Geodynamics Database. CD-ROM mounted on the C workstation
in Branner Library, OBTAIN FROM THE REFERENCE DESK IN BRANNER.
Summary: A Multimedia Database of information on 1,508 volcanoes
and 89,094 earthquakes worldwide. Program permits plotting earthquake
and volcano sites on maps of user's choice, including full color
topographic world maps (5 min.) and U.S. (30 second). Coastlines
can be drawn in high resolution and national borders may be included.
Data available for each volcano and earthquake may be displayed
and cross sections of earthquake foci between any two points on
a Mercator map may be drawn. Includes archive of 143 visuals covering
6 topics. Supports searching, display, transport, and printing.
Images available for downloading include: Crustal Ages of the World
Ocean draped on relief map, GEOSAT Image of the Southern Ocean,
and Sediment Thickness of the Oceans.
