WHERE ARE GEOLOGIC FIELD TRIP GUIDEBOOKS WHEN YOU NEED THEM?

JOSEPH, Lura E., Geology Library, Univ of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 223 Natural History Building, MC102, 1301 West Green Street, Urbana, IL 61801, luraj@uiuc.edu

Have you ever had difficulty determining whether a field trip guidebook exists for a particular area? Have you ever had trouble getting your hands on a copy when you know a guidebook once existed? This whole body of important geologic knowledge is threatened. This presentation will provide some tips for finding and accessing guidebooks, however, the collective help of geologists and librarians is essential in order to save this information and make it accessible. Ways that you can help will be discussed. If you have any interest in field trips (as a leader or as a participant), or you have ever used the information in guidebooks or think that you might, this presentation will be of interest to you.
