GEOGRAPHY GeoRef -- comprehensive geoscience database containing over 2.8 million bibliographic records from more than 3,500 journals and other sources. It provides coverage in subject areas such as mineralogy and crystallography, general mineralogy, mineralogy of silicates, engineering geology, hydrology, economic geology, geophysics, petrology, paleontology, marine geology, oceanography, and mineralogy of non-silicates. Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences http://earth.AnnualReviews.org JSTOR Arts and Sciences I, II, and III Interdisciplinary Collections Archive of over 394 journals in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Each of the three core Arts & Sciences Collections introduces new academic disciplines into the archive. The Arts & Sciences Complement enables institutions to build upon these core collections, adding new journals in existing disciplines and cross-disciplinary fields over time. There are no overlaps (titles included in more than one collection) among the Arts & Sciences Collections. The Biological Sciences Collection is an interdisciplinary archive of journals covering the life sciences. The Biological Sciences Collection has minimal overlap with the Arts & Sciences I Collection and is JSTOR's first multidisciplinary collection branching out into the natural and applied sciences. You can browse subjects or search via http://www.jstor.org/search/ Sanborn Digital Maps of Louisiana. 1867-1970 provides academic and public libraries digital access to more than 660,000 large-scale maps of more than 12,000 American towns and cities. Sanborn fire insurance maps are the most frequently consulted maps in both public and academic libraries. Sanborn maps are valuable historical tools for urban specialists, social historians, architects, geographers, genealogists, local historians, planners, environmentalists and anyone who wants to learn about the history, growth, and development of American cities, towns, and neighborhoods. http://sanborn.umi.com
