Societies cooperate on cross-silo search (July 2006)

The three major upstream professional societies, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) and the Societies of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) have combined to offer unified search across their considerable collections of technical papers. The service, LookUpstream, allows for search across all three organizations’ libraries, a total of nearly 100,000 papers.

SPE director Mark Rubin said, ‘This single search location is something that members have asked us for, and we’re pleased to be able to make it a reality.’ LookUpstream is a free search service.
