A consignment of valuable used geoscience books has arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam, with another on its way to the University of Peking in China, freight for the latter shipment being kindly sponsored by Schlumberger Beijing. Put together at great effort by the AAPG Publications Pipeline Committee, this initiative aims to improve geoscience education in developing countries by providing used geoscience books and periodicals at no cost to university libraries and other libraries that request them. As North American geoscientists are retired and companies consolidate, many libraries are available for donation, or they will be discarded.

Any university interested in receiving a similar consignment of these valuable resources should visit this site http://www.aapg.org/committees/pubs_pipeline/index.cfm
