IEEE XploreIEEE Xplore, produced by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, is ideal for conducting research in the field of electronics, electrical engineering, telecommunications, wireless communications, and computer engineering. It provides access to IEEE transactions, journals, magazines, conference proceedings, as well as current IEEE standards. Complete full text is provided back to 1988, with select content reaching back to 1952.  How to Search This Database
Optics InfoBase [1917-present] provides indexing and abstracts to access over one dozen journals and 70 conference proceedings in the field of optics. Full text is provided for the journals Applied Optics, Journal of the Optical Society of America Part A (JOSA A), Journal of the Optical Society of America Part B (JOSA B), Optics & Photonics News, and Optics Letters.  How to Search This Database
The HEP (high-energy physics) Database allows users to search more than 500,000 high-energy physics related journal articles, preprints, e-prints, technical reports, conference papers, and dissertations. Created by Stanford University's Linear Accelerator Center in cooperation with Germany's Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, the database includes citations as far back as 1974.  How to Search This Database
Science Citation Index Expanded (1899-present)ISI’s Science Citation Index Expanded provides access to approximately 8,300 journals in the natural, life, physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences going back as far as 1899. Each article contains full indexing with abstracts as well as complete bibliographies, allowing for cited reference searching. Full-Text links are provided for articles which are part of the library’s collection.
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
SCOPUSMultidisciplinary database covering scientific, technical, medical and social science literature - over 15,000 peer-reviewed titles from 4,000 publishers.
