| Biology POWERSEARCH | Searches the following databases simultaneously: Academic Search Complete , General Science Abstracts, INSPEC, and MEDLINE. How to Search This Database |
| Biology Digest | Indexes and abstracts over 300 life sciences journals from 1989 to the present. The abstracts are lengthier than most other databases and are written in a more non-technical style, making Biology Digest easier to use for non-scientists. Some of the disciplines covered include botany, health, medicine, zoology, ecology, and biology. |
| Science Citation Index | ISI Web of Knowledge (formerly- ISI Web of Science) provides seamless access to three citation indexes: the Science Citation Index, the Social Sciences Citation Index, and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index. These can be searched together or separately. Approximately 8,500 of the most prestigious research journals are indexed with abstracts within the Web of Science. Complete bibliographies are included for each citation allowing for cited reference searching. How to Search This Database |
| Contains over 800 leading full-text journals covering relevant aspects of the scientific and technical community. Topics include aeronautics, astrophysics, biology, chemistry, computer technology, geology, aviation, physics, archaeology, marine sciences and materials science. In addition to the full text, this database offers indexing and abstracts for more than 1,700 publication. How to Search This Database | |
