What are research guides.

Research Guides are mini-websites developed by librarians to help you identify and locate scholarly and non-scholarly resources on a particular subject or for a particular course. They may also contain information on library services, research tips, career information, and more. 

Where Can I Find the Research Guides?

Look for the  Research Guides link in the top navigation bar on the library homepage . Once you click on the Research Guides link, you'll be taken to a page with an alphabetical list of all available research guides. Choose a guide from that list or choose from the options at the top of the list to select guides "By Subject" or "By Type."

When Should I Use a Research Guide for my Research?

Most useful for.

• Finding a wide variety of resources such as books, articles, and websites on a specific subject or for a specific course in a single location
• Getting librarian-recommended resources, tools and tips for your research 
• Some subjects or courses may not have a research guide associated with them (yet)
• Guides are not exhaustive--users may need to search in other places or use other resources to find all the sources and information they need for their research or coursework

Our Recommendation

Consider using the Research Guides primarily when you:

• Want to save time by utilizing a one-stop source of information for subject-specific or course-specific research
• Need guidance on which databases to use or where to start doing research 
• Are interested in finding a wide variety of source types
• Share on Facebook

Oil and natural gas are major industries in the energy market and play an influential role in the global economy as the world's primary fuel sources. The processes and systems involved in producing and distributing oil and gas are highly complex, capital-intensive, and require state-of-the-art technology. Historically, natural gas has been linked to oil, mainly because of the production process or upstream side of the business. For much of the history of the industry, natural gas was viewed as a nuisance and even today is flared in large quantities in some parts of the world, including the United States. Natural gas has taken on a more prominent role in the world's energy supply as a consequence of shale gas development in the United States, as mentioned above, and its lower greenhouse gas emissions when combusted when compared to oil and coal.

This guide looks at the business of oil and gas and is intended to serve as a research aid to sources worldwide, with a specific emphasis on the United States. It covers a brief history of the oil and gas industry, an overview of companies and organizations, statistic and pricing resources, and regulations. The industry is often divided into three segments:

• upstream, the business of oil and gas exploration and production;
• midstream, transportation and storage; and
• downstream, which includes refining and marketing.

These three areas are reflected in the organization of the guide. Renewable and alternative energy companies are discussed in our Renewable Energy Industries: A Research Guide and  Green Business: Sources of Information Guide . For an overview U.S. energy sources, there have been a number of  Congressional Research Service reports  on renewable energy topics, including:

• 21st Century U.S. Energy Sources: A Primer. CRS Report R46723. Congressional Research Service, March 16, 2021.

Online Glossaries and Reference Guides

The following glossaries are freely available online and can be useful in understanding the terminology used in these industries.

• U.S. Energy Information Administration Glossary Browse or search terminology used in the U.S. Department of Energy.
• Schlumberger Oilfield Glossary External This illustrated glossary includes more than 4,600 entries for a generalist and expert, and includes citations for further reading.
• Nancy and Jake L. Hamon Oil and Gas Resource Center External A guide from the Dallas Public Library, with an emphasis on Texas organizations and agencies, complements digital resources available in this guide.
• The Society of Petroleum Engineers External The website for the Society of Petroleum Engineers contains useful resources such as the Glossary of Terms Used in Petroleum Reserves External . The group also manages PetroWiki External , a community-based site that provides definitions and explains technical concepts.

Reference Books

The oil and gas industry has been covered at length in books and other publications. Throughout this guide, specific resources are recommended within a particular subtopic of oil and gas. Below are books that provide a good overview of the entire industry and may be useful starting points. The following materials link to fuller bibliographic information in the Library of Congress Online Catalog . Links to additional online content are provided when available.

• MARKUS- Text Analysis and Reading Platform for Literary Chinese 瑪庫斯平台 OPEN ACCESS more... less... .With MARKUS you can upload a file in classical Chinese and tag personal names, place names, temporal references, and bureaucratic offices automatically. You can also upload your own list of key terms for automated tagging. You can then read a document while checking a range of reference works at the same time, or compare passages in which the same names or keywords appear. Or, you can extract the information you have tagged and use it for further analysis in our visualization platform and other tools. The March 2015 release includes: -improvements in automated markup: emperor names have been added and alternate names markup improved to reduce superfluous alternate name markup -inline text editing: correct mistakes or add punctuation to the base text -switching between markup modes: choose between modes from the left bar; no need to re-upload files -new keyword markup functionality: automatically discover keywords and select appropriate ones for markup -additional dictionaries in reading mode: trials for Buddhist and medical term dictionaries -full Chinese language version -links to relevant tools: starting with the newly released CBDB name/official title lookup tool -updated and expanded help text and videos -FAQ: for technical problems and useful markup tips Also added two new tools: 1) The CBDB Mac Dictionary allows readers to search China Biographical Database by either using Mac OS X integrated Spotlight or by selecting any name or partial name in any software programme; 2) The CBDB Name/Title Lookup helps readers identify persons for whom only part of the name AND an official title or part thereof are known.
