The image used is a satellite image of China: the Turpan Pendi © Fugro NPA Mapping Ltd

The Turpan Pendi, or Turfan Depression, nestles below the Bogda Mountains, in the upper half of the image, on the northern rim of the Takla-makan Desert. It is the third lowest place on Earth, 154m/505ft below sea level. It consists of an unusual mixture of salt and sand dunes. The saline lake to the lower left is typical, as is the undulating area of sand to the lower right.

NPA are corporate affiliates of The Geological Society and have specialised in the use of satellite imagery for exploration of the Earth’s resources, environment and hazards since 1972.

Online First Online First is a feature offered through the Geological Society’s electronic content platform, the Lyell Collection. It enables articles to appear online soon after they have been accepted for publication and ahead of the printed volume or issue. This feature is currently available for Special Publications, Journal of the Geological Society, Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, Petroleum Geoscience and Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis.

All articles on the site are in their final PDF format apart from pagination, i.e. they have been accepted for publication, copyedited, typeset, proofed and corrected.

The Online First release date serves as the official publication date.

BenefitsOnline First offers clear benefits to authors and researchers:• Reduced lead time between submission and publication• Access to the very latest articles in the field• Greater usage and exposure of articles, including earlier citation opportunities by related works

GeofacetsGeofacets is a web-based research tool that offers access to an extensive database of georeferenced geological maps. With intuitive features designed for geoscientists working in upstream oil and gas exploration, it enables users to efficiently and confidently assess a region or basin's geologic characteristics and potential – so they can drive better business outcomes and recommendations.

Geofacets offers tens of thousands of geological maps and associated information from The Geological Society of London’s Lyell Collection. Subscribers to both collections will be able to access these maps on the Geofacets platform.

Geofacets

Geofacets-GSL Millennium Edition

Elsevier and the Geological Society of London (GSL) have collaborated to provide GSL Fellows (members) with a unique opportunity to gain individual access to thousands of geological maps from the renowned Lyell Collection through the Geofacets platform.

Discover and Download Maps• 24,000+ maps from the books and journals in the Lyell Collection published

from 2000 – present.• All maps are downloadable, with 16,000+ available as GeoTIFFs for easy

integration with GIS and other software.• Each map is accompanied by metadata such as geographic coordinates, map

surface area, datum and projection for geo-referenced maps, and more.• View reference information about the maps and the associated articles

Open Access 

GSL is responding positively to the requirements of funding agencies to offer Open Access publishing options to authors.  The Society will continue to publish only high-quality peer-reviewed research outputs but will offer authors the option to choose either Gold Open Access, where the author pays an Article Processing Charge or Green (repository) Open Access. Fellows will be able to take advantage of a discount on the Article Processing Fee.

The GSL will respond to the OSTP consultation with federal funding agencies.

Open URL ManagementJust a reminder that you can add and manage your OpenURL configurations in one location for all your GSL journals hosted by HighWire. Your OpenURL link resolver will allow you to create links back to your library holdings in the reference sections of selected journals. This helps your patrons find the most appropriate copy of the article at your institution. Visit the High Wire website to manage your Open URL configurations.  http://highwire.stanford.edu/help/subadmin/openurl.dtl#associate  For further reading, see “Why OpenURL?” by Ann Apps and Ross MacIntyre, University of Manchester, May 2001 issue of D-Lib Magazine (Vol. 12. No.5, ISSN 1082-9873)  http://www.dlib.org/dlib/may06/apps/05apps.html

SERUIn a bid to make licensing less onerous we do not issue or require the agreement of a formal license for institutional access to the Lyell Collection, instead we offer you the opportunity to use SERU (Shared Electronic Resource Understanding) and reduce the time and costs of negotiating licenses for e-resources.

SERU allows us to operate within a framework of shared understanding and good faith... and yet we will provide a license if your institution requires one.

Library Advisory GroupWanted – Librarians to work with the Geological Society of London

Your opinion counts. • We would like to invite you to join a small group of librarians who will help us

improve our understanding of the challenges you face in the Earth sciences community.

• What issues concern you? What do you think about our plans for future publishing ventures? How do you see the role of the librarian in the changing publishing environment?

• We plan to hold occasional “virtual meetings”, email discussions about new products and services and get together at GSA each year.

Come along to our booth no. 1125 or contact me afterwards if you would like to be involved.
