earthdoc
As I was ordering some publications from EAGE, I discovered their earthdoc interface. Earthdoc gives EAGE members access to the abstracts of papers and proceedings presented at EAGE conferences since 2000. Only members can download the full-text abstracts, but the citations themselves will be useful regardless.
Most of the conference abstracts are held in Branner (check Socrates to make sure), but earthdoc gives you a quick and easy way to check contents before you come over here to borrow the hard copy.
