The Libraries recently added GeoScienceWorld to electronic collections.  GeoScienceWorld, a resource for research and communication in the geosciences, consists of 30 peer-reviewed journals indexed, linked, and inter-operable with the database Geo-Ref.  The journals are society publications, published from the year 2000 through the present.

The professional societies represented are:  American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), American Geological Institute (AGI), Geological Society of America (GSA), The Geological Society of London (GSL), Mineralogical Society of American (MSA), Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM), and Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG).

To search GeoScienceWorld, use GeoRef on the WVU Libraries database page at http://www.libraries.wvu.edu/databases/.  To access journals in GeoScienceWorld directly, use the link under collections on the WVU Libraries e-journals page at http://www.libraries.wvu.edu/ejournals/.
