On Monday 6th November D8a launched its ProfDocs service. This service is a database of technical publications that can be searched, abstracts viewed on-line and entire papers purchased and downloaded to your computer in real-time. Initially, the database contains papers from the Petroleum Exploration Society of Australia (PESA), the Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Associationl (APPEA), and Crown Minerals of New Zealand (CROWN). Our aim is to expand to become an on-line "one-stop-shop" for earth-science related technical papers.
