Geosciences Research Guide

Getting Started

GeoRef

GeoRef is available via the EBSCOhost provider/database vendor and lacks some of the functionality other versions of GeoRef have. Most important, the search by coordinates feature does not work for defining a rectangle and searching all results within. Refer to the GeoRef's definitions and country codes used in field searching.

Key Takeaways:

  • Use the GeoRef's "Subjects authority" (link is located on the left-side of the page) to locate words that are used to categorize subjects and give you links between subjects (e.g., karsts, caves, and cenotes). 
  • Search both, GeoRef and GeoRef In Progress to search for the most recently released research.
