| New searchable online database of
geoengineering papers!
Special
Announcement |
March 2010

 Greetings
Geoengineer.org is very excited to announce the launch of
the Geoengineering Literature finder, GEOLIFI!
In Geoengineer.org we recognize that access to the
most recent geoengineering information is becoming more
important and that practicing engineers have essentially no
systematic access to this information.
The Online
Geoengineering Library is a popular tool within
Geoengineer.org and intends to provide access to publications
available online at no cost. However such a database, will
always be incomplete, because many publications are not (and
will not be) available online.
Thus, Geoengineer.org
undertook a 2-year development project to establish GEOLIFI.
GEOLIFI intends to become the most comprehensive, searchable
online database of geoengineering papers published worldwide
not only in journals, but also in conferences, symposia,
workshops, and even magazines and reports. GEOLIFI is
established in cooperation with publishers, conference
organizers as well as professional geoengineering
organizations and is available at: http://geolifi.geoengineer.org/.
The database allows searches to be performed using not
only author names or paper titles, but also abstracts! The
ultimate goal is to collect and disseminate unprecedented
numbers of papers in a effective manner. The database as of
today includes over 2,000 papers, most of them not otherwise
available online, and will continue to expand on a daily
basis. Geoengineers are able to querry the database, identify
relevant publications and purchase them immediately. Many of
these publications would not be otherwise available, except by
subscribing to a journal or purchasing the proceedings.
We hope you will find this resource valuable.

 About GEOLIFI
How it Works in 4 easy STEPS
Search: Papers that are included in GEOLIFI, are
archived and fully searchable at no cost. You can search for
papers using either a simple or a more advanced library
search.
Add to Wish List: Once you have identified the
paper of your interest click the "Add to Wish List" button
that appears at the bottom right hand corner of that page. The
paper will automatically be added in you wish list. You may
also continue searching the database and add more papers to
the wish list or you may proceed to check out.
Purchase: To purchase papers you will need to enter
your login information that have been provided during the registration
process. As soon as you are logged in, you will be
redirected to Paypal, a secure online payment system, where
you can complete your payment by using any credit card and no
extra cost for you. Note that you do not need to have a PayPal
account in order to make a payment. Just fill out the online
form and follow the instructions provided. Geoengineer.org
does not collect credit card information.
Download: You will receive an Electronic Invoice
& Delivery Sheet within one hour that will contain the
details of your order. To donwload the purchased products,
access your personal GEOLIFI account. The publication will be
available on your account for 30 days. After this period the
download link becomes inactive. Each paper can only be
downloaded once. Once the paper has been downloaded the link
is deactivated. Visit GEOLIFI |
