GEOLOGY 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. Access Science (includes McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology.) Gives full access to 7100+ articles, 115,000 dictionary terms, biographies of scientists, bibliographies containing 28,000 literature citations, and hundreds of Research Updates -- in all areas of science and technology -- updated daily. http://www.accessscience.com/server-java/Arknoid/science/AS Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences http://earth.AnnualReviews.org Annual Review of Environment and Resources http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/loi/energy JSTOR - Arts & Sciences I The Arts & Sciences I Collection includes the complete back runs of 119 titles in fifteen disciplines. JSTOR's first collection includes core research and society published journals in economics, history, political science, and sociology in other key fields as the humanities and social sciences. This collection also includes a selection of titles in the more science-oriented fields of ecology, mathematics, and statistics. 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

Become a "virtual seismologist." Designed by Gary Novak, a professor of geology, VEQ provides a "hands-on" lesson on how to locate an earthquake's epicenter and how to determine its Richter magnitude. Users interpret simulated seismograms from three seismic recording stations in an effort to triangulate the location of an earthquake's epicenter. The user's results are plotted on a map and compared to the actual results. http://vcourseware4.calstatela.edu/eec/Earthquake/ Virtual Geomorphology.
