- National Information Services Corporation (NISC), and Geosystems of the
- United Kingdom are pleased to announce their agreement to produce the
- GeoArchive database as a NISC DISC publication. The CD-ROM will be updated
- semi-annually not only with current data from GeoArchive but also with
- other relevant materials that complement this important research tool
- thereby expanding coverage well beyond the online version of the file. The
- first CD-ROM issue features over 675,000 records, which occupy some seven
- feet of shelf space in print format. The disc will be available for
- distribution in January, 1992.
-
- GeoArchive is a worldwide geoscience and hydroscience database which is
- used to reference thousands of published sources including maps, serials,
- books, conference proceedings, doctoral dissertations, and technical
- reports. Over 60,000 bibliographic citations are added each year from
- thousands of sources and publishers of monographic materials worldwide.
- Comprehensive in scope, this database provides coverage of the entire
- field of geology with a special emphasis on economic geology, mining,
- mineral and petroleum production and resources, the environment, energy
- sources, fossil fuels, paleontology, hydrology, hydrogeology, engineering
- geology, mathematical geology, geophysics, geochemistry, oceanology, and
- the names of new minerals, taxa, and new stratigraphic names.
-
- GeoArchive contains the complete text of all the issues of the printed
- publications: Geotides. Bibliography of Economic Geology, Geoscience
- Documentation, and Hydrotitles. The GeoArchive thesaurus Geosaurus is also
- included on the disc. In addition to the ease of searching the CD-ROM
- medium with the powerful NISC software, copies of many source documents
- cited can be obtained at cost from Geosystems.
