Abstract

In a move designed to eliminate overlap and increase coverage of scholarly publications, three major institutions have agreed to pool their resources in compiling a common geological bibliographic data base. The American Geological Institute (AGI), the Bureau de Recherches Geologiques et Minieres (BRGM), and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) will begin producing a joint bibliographic record in 1981, according to information furnished by AGI.The associations will retain their present reference resources—AGI's GeoRef, BRGM's Geode, and the geology sections of CNRS's Pascal—but each will contain all citations in the joint data base. French and English will be the primary languages. Coverage will include all materials previous indexed by the individual reference services.
