Librarian's tip: Finding Literature in Geoscience
The Georef database provides access to geoscientific literature. It contains a vast collection of references to geoscientific journal articles, books, maps, conference proceedings, reports and theses.
In GeoRef, you can find data for North America dating from 1666 to the present, whilst data for the rest of the world starts from 1933 onwards. The database has been created by The American Geosciences Institute.
