I need a battery operated +/- 15 volt power supply. I'm going to use it to run a couple op amps. Any help with a circuit? Thanks

You can use a voltage regulator to distribute the appropriate voltage using a power distribution circuit, from your main voltage source.
 
If you only need 100ma output something like this would do:

dc-dc works best.

it cost a little but will save you the time to keep your project moving. Datasheet shows how you can connect things and output and which pins
