- GeoRef (EBSCOhost) This link opens in a new windowProduced by the American Geosciences Institute, this comprehensive geosciences database contains bibliographic records for geosciences literature from around the world. GeoRef contains a vast amount of indexed information, including 3.8 million bibliographic records from more than 3,500 journals covering a wide spectrum of geoscience literature. Other records featured within the database include indexed books, maps, government reports, conference papers, theses and dissertations.
- GeoScience World This link opens in a new windowGeoScienceWorld, which has GeoRef fully integrated into it, has a lot of content that you won't find in other databases (namely publications from geology societies) with very detailed search options/limiters. Searches can also be confined with a map feature. These search features aren't available in the GeoRef hosted in EBSCO.
- Geobase (Engineering Village) This link opens in a new windowGeobase is a database, within Engineering Village, of indexed research literature unequalled in its coverage of the international geoscience literature. Topics include: earth sciences, ecology, geology, human and physical geography, environmental sciences, oceanography, geomechanics, alternative energy sources, pollution, waste management and nature conservation.
- Web of Science (All Databases) This link opens in a new windowWeb of Science has a broad focus. What's special about it is the citation tracking; it has a full list of the works cited by an article and a list of articles that cited it. This allows you to find useful resources via citations forward and backwards in time
