Acceptable Use Policy

The library endeavors to collect or provide information to geosciences researchers at ND. Some areas of particular interest include: environmental geochemistry and mineralogy, hydrology, treatment and remediation. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of research in the geosciences, books, journals, and reference materials can be found in three campus libraries: the Chemistry/Physics Library at 231 Nieuwland, the Life Sciences Library at 149 Galvin, and the Engineering Library at 149 Fitzpatrick Hall. The resources listed on this page can serve a variety of information needs, but feel free to contact the librarians at the individual libraries when more help is needed.

Recommended Resources (All Resources: 22 databases | 267 e-journals )

• Compendex

  
  

  Coverage:

  1884-
  Provides access to bibliographic databases of engineering research literature, including Compendex (citations and abstracts to 5000+ engineering journals, conferences and technical reports), as well as to patents, standards and handbooks. Also includes Engineering Index Backfile covering information from the printed Engineering Index for the period 1884-1969. Overall coverage: 1884 to present.

• GeoRef

  
  

  Coverage:

  1785-
  Contains millions of citations covering the geology of North America from 1785 and that of the rest of the world from 1933. Topics covered include geophysics and structural geology, economic geology, minerals and petroleum, palaeontology and stratigraphy, engineering and environmental geology, geomorphology, soils and quaternary geology, igneous and metamorphic petrology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, aerial geology and maps.

• Web of science

  
  

  Coverage:

  1900-
  "... accesses multidisciplinary databases of bibliographic information gathered from thousands of scholarly journals. The databases are indexed so you can search for specific articles by subject, author, journal, and/or author address. Because the information stored about each article includes the article's cited reference list (often called its bibliography), you can also search the databases for articles that cite a known author or work."--Tutorial screen.More about Web of Science
