CMMS Announces New Midstream Information Pathfinder
Lamar University’s Center for Midstream Management and Science (“CMMS” or “Midstream Center”) has just activated the new and unique Midstream Information Pathfinder on the Research page of its website, www.lamar.edu/midstream. This tool, developed in concert with LU’s Mary and John Gray Library as part of the CMMS Midstream Information Clearing House concept, enables a user to efficiently search for published research papers on virtually all midstream-centric topics at the click of a button. A user will define search criteria and be rewarded with titles, abstracts, and links to the publisher of each listed paper where it can be obtained from the copyright owner. Instead of trying to identify, access, and search multiple scientific, subscription enabled databases to find midstream relevant research papers, a user can now access most published midstream work via a single portal. In developing this tool, a portfolio of over 12,900 midstream relevant research papers were identified in multiple scientific databases. At no cost to a user, the Midstream Information Pathfinder will identify relevant research papers, provide abstracts, and a link to the owner of the papers where the user can purchase them.
