This 546-page volume had 24 technical papers and poster sessions. The two-day conference and shorter publication reflected the still-struggling economy and careful spending on the part of the petroleum industry and academia.

With the economy struggling in 2008, this conference was substantially smaller than in past years, consisting of 17 technical papers and abstracts that totalled 421 pages. The CD still includes the features that have become standard on our digital publications :

• duplicate technical papers laid out in traditional 8 1/2- X 11-in. format
• hyperlinked Author Index, containing an alphabetized list of all contributing authors in the volume (introduced in 2002).

This conference consisted of 38 technical papers comprising 1237 pages, 668 figures, and 46 tables. Standard features included on this CD ROM were:

2005 was the year of Hurricane Katrina. Because the GCSSEPM conference is based in Houston, many of its authors come from Louisiana and specifically, New Orleans. In spite of the huge impact this event had on people's lives throughout the South, the scientists rallied and the conference went on - presenting 47 research papers spanning more than 1200 pages. Standard features included on this CD ROM were:

2005 was the year of Hurricane Katrina...and this year, the GCAGS conference was scheduled for New Orleans. The hurricane struck just a few weeks before the conference was to begin, effectively cancelling the event.

By this time, however, the entire publication was already completed and ready to go into production. The CD was released for sale after the fact, in February 2006, as a digital record of the research prepared for this conference. This publication consists of 109 technical papers and abstracts, comprising 923 pages. It is offered for sale through the Bureau of Economic Geology, Austin, Texas.

In 2004 the GCAGS Transactions had 78 technical papers and abstracts, totalling 774 pages. Standard to our CD ROM projects, this volume has

2000 was the first year that the GCAGS convention delivered their Transactions on CD ROM - and they entrusted Bergan et al. for the job. This conference publication comprised 886 pages of submissions from 108 authors, 60 advertisers, and two technical editors. Both digital and hard copy (offset press) versions of this publication were produced. The CD ROM features:

• hyperlinked figures and tables for easy navigation

This publication honors the life and service of Dr. Bob F. Perkins, a prominent geoscientist, paleontologist, and educator. The 374-page book contains contributions from world-renowned Cretaceous paleontologists and paleoecologists. For this publication, we created four indexes:

• a hyperlinked subject index (right, top)
• a hyperlinked taxonomic (fossil) index (right, bottom)
• our standard author index
• our standard full-text search index of the entire CD ROM.

This Deep-Water Core Workshop was held during the 2002 AAPG Conference in Houston, Texas. The digital publication was sponsored by the GCSSEPM Foundation. Six technical presentations were prepared, totaling 92 pages and 75 high-resolution images.
