E-books are becoming increasingly common, a number of the University Library's books are only available digitally. Here听you find some tipps on how to get access.

Scientific papers appear alongside books, reports etc. also in Oria. The subject specific reference databases listed below offer advanced search functionality lacking from Oria and Google Scholar.

If you are off campus and click the following links, you will first be directed to a log on screen for the UiB proxy server. This makes sure that you听get access even though you're outside the UiB network.

:听Multidisciplinary database with听about 8,500 journals from Science Citation Expanded庐. With cited reference searching, users can navigate forward and backward.

:听contains references within earth science, and covers the fields of mineralogy, crystallography, geochemistry, geology, engineering, petrology, oceanography, paleontology, geophysics, seismology, hydrology and geopmorphology. The database covers abstracts of scientific papers, books, theses, reports and maps.

:听The database contains references to publications, reports/maps from the mining archive and reports on Norwegian geology. The database consists of several sub-bases: NGU-reports, articles in NGU-publications, maps, master- and doctorate theses in earth sciences, articles from Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, other geological literature, geological maps and field data.

Maps - Norway

Bedrock maps over Norway are located under UBBRB Box 554.81.

You can also find various geological maps online from the (Norges geologiske unders酶kelse-NGU).The database gives an overview of available data and the possibility to download data and maps directly.听NGU produces both traditional maps and digital maps , like: Bedrock maps, Quaternary geological maps, Geophysical maps, Geochemical maps, Groundwater maps (hydrogeological), Marine geological maps, Sand and gravel maps, Maps of ore and mineral deposits, Total gamma radiation maps, Thematic and combined maps.

(1:50000) and over the norwegian coast and sea are stored in a separate room. Just ask one of the librarians to get access to the maps. The maps are from 2005 -2012.

These maps are also available online from . You can download the maps in different scales (N2000-N50) and formats (raster and vector) from . The service is free but you have to register. () You can also find information about boarders and districts on this webpage.
