James and others,

	I have found georef to be one of the better and useful search data
bases.  We search it via dialog. Dialog has both an internet and www site
and you can use a credit card for searching.  It is pricey, I suspect
because it is used by those oil companies, but they also want good
searches so I have found it good. 
	Because of the cost (unless you have lots of money) do some good
thinking about key words, or (if you have not done a lot of searching)
have someone who has help you.
	If you need more help let me know and I will pass it on to our
librarian.
