Now in its seventeenth year, The University of Tulsa's Petroleum Abstracts Information System for petroleum exploration, development, and production has increased its information retrieval capability. Presently in use for inhouse informal retrieval is the recently developed Petroleum Abstracts Search System (PASS). Through an arrangement with System Development Corp., the Petroleum Abstracts information base now can be accessed internationally through the SDC ORBIT III search system. The Petroleum Abstracts Information System is based on the weekly abstract bulletin Petroleum Abstracts, which covers a selected range of worldwide scientific and technical serial literature. Printed bi-monthly and annual cumulative Alphabetic Subject Indexes are distributed to subscribers to the services. Dual Dictionary Coordinate Indexes have been changed from printed to microfilm format and are issued every 6 mo. Back issues of Petroleum Abstracts also are available on microfilm. Master Record Tapes, for computer retrieval of information derived from articles used in preparing Petroleum Abstracts, are issued every 4 mo. (19 refs.)
