"An index to library and information science".
Geoscience data and collections (such as, rock and sediment cores, geophysical data, engineering records, and fossils) are necessary for industries to discover and develop domestic natural resources to fulfill the nation's energy and mineral requirements and to improve the prediction of immediate and long term hazards, such as land slides, volcanic eruptions and global climate change. While the nation has assembled a wealth of geoscience data and collections, their utility remains incompletely tapped. Many could act as invaluable resources in the future but immediate action is needed if they are to remain available. Housing of and access to geoscience data and collections have become critica...
Geological Society Memoir 52 records the extraordinary 50+ year journey that has led to the development of some 458 oil and gas fields on the UKCS. It contains papers on almost 150 onshore and offshore fields in all of the UK’s main petroliferous basins. These papers range from look-backs on some of the first-developed gas fields in the Southern North Sea, to papers on fields that have only just been brought into production or may still remain undeveloped, and includes two candidate CO2 sequestration projects. These papers are intended to provide a consistent summary of the exploration, appraisal, development and production history of each field, leading to the current subsurface understanding which is described in greater detail. As such the Memoir will be an enduring reference source for those exploring for, developing, producing hydrocarbons and sequestering CO2 on the UKCS in the coming decades. It encapsulates the petroleum industry’s deep subsurface knowledge accrued over more than 50 years of exploration and production.
The GSIS Annual Meeting is held in conjunction with that of GSA,and the papers, posters and forums presented there are part of the broader GSA meeting.Oral presentations of the papers in this proceedings volume were given at the 2007 GSA Annual Meeting inDenver, Colorado, October 28th - 31st, 2007. The papers are arranged in the order in which they werepresented. As editor I made minor grammatical and spelling changes and appreciate the care with whichauthors prepared their manuscripts. The authors are solely responsible for the opinions and ideas expressedherein.Informed decision making for a sustainable earth depends on information being accessible to the public.The year 2007 marked the be...
A handbook for library scientists learning the ropes in the new arena of online and other electronic resources. Seven contributions look at topics such as the retrieval power of selected search engines, visual maps of the World Wide Web, a simulation study of search tactics of Web users, geographic information systems in library reference, managing reference services in the electronic age, and patron attitudes toward computerized and print resources.
