Abstract
The Bureau of Mines oil shale data bank (osdb) was created in 1976 to serve as a centralized source for the storage, retrieval, and dissemination of technical literature, patents, and information on research projects in oil shale. Thousands of bibliographic references, patents, and research projects relating to the mining of oil shale have been identified, abstracted, and indexed according to selected keyword topics. The resulting data bank listings are contained in three sections, each with a separate keyword breakdown for use in rapidly identifying references pertaining to a specific subject. All references cited in the osdb were published prior to an established cut-off date of May 1, 1981. This report contains the bibliographic listing b1 through b2713.
