The Decade of North American Geology (D-NAG) Project was published between 1982 and 2005 by the Geological Society of America. The D-NAG project was intended to provide a systematic synthesis of geological knowledge of North America to serve as a benchmark of research up through the 1980s.
Most volumes of D-NAG are available electronically via Geoscience World E-books, and for PDF purchase via the GSA Bookstore. Print copies in the library are classified separately by specific subject.

GeoScienceWorld Book Collections launched in 2014, and is the first nonprofit, multi-publisher book platform dedicated to the study of the earth sciences, complementing the journal holdings in the GeoScience World journals platform. It includes more than 1,000 earth science titles from 10 leading society publishers
Special Note on UT Holdings: Since the UT Libraries already license materials from the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and The Geological Society of London, and some Geological Society of America items, our license is restricted to approximately 700 titles of the original 1000 in this database. For materials that will not open here, try the original publisher’s database entry.

The USBM was established in 1910 within the Dept. of the Interior to oversee mining and mineral production. It closed in 1996 and its functions were moved to the USGS Mineral Resources Program. Its historical publications fall largely into the federal technical report category. Many reports have been digitized in various repositories: NTIS-NTRL, TRAIL, HathiTrust, etc.

TRAIL provides access to digitized copies of federal technical reports issued prior to 1975. Includes reports from agencies such as the Atomic Energy Commission, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, the National Bureau of Standards, and the U.S. Bureau of Mines.
What is a "Series"?
A Series is a sequential publication, often numbered but not always, that is monographic in nature. Volumes in a series are usually published irregularly, i.e. not on a set schedule like a periodical. Some series are enormous and publish many volumes in a year; others are less frequent and may publish only a few volumes over a number of years. Publishers may be governmental agencies (e.g. the USGS, and state surveys), professional organizations (e.g. Geological Society of America), or for-profit companies (e.g. Elsevier). The library may acquire a series selectively, or in its entirety via standing order. Historically they were only in print; now they may be available electronically on subscribed platforms (particularly Geoscience World, AAPG Datapages, Lyell Collection), or as individual e-books.
Are all Series Volumes listed separately in the Library Catalog?
No! While some printed series volumes are individually cataloged as separate books, many are not. And some series available on electronic platforms are not listed in our Catalog at all. If you don't find what you're looking for, ask.
Finding a specific report or issue for a series can be tricky. Some reports can be found by their individual titles; other reports can only be found by their series titles. Some series may be shelved in sequence at the same call number in the library; other series may be scattered according to the topic of each issue or report. You may need to try a variety of search techniques in the Library Catalog to locate what you are looking for.
These are important pieces of information to have. You can often find them in GeoRef.
Search in the LIbrary Catalog by:
Example Reference:
Hentz, Tucker F. 2010. Sequence stratigraphy, depositional facies, and reservoir attributes of the upper cretaceous Woodbine Group, East Texas Field. Report of investigations (University of Texas at Austin. Bureau of Economic Geology) ; no. 274.
Breaking down the reference:
Searching options:
Just use enough words from the reference you have to be fairly specific, and if the report is individually cataloged it should pop right up. If it doesn't, then try searching only the series or serial title (no author or number) to see if the series is available.
Be sure to select "Library Catalog" as your search scope:
