IEEE 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 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
SCOPUS is one of the largest article databases and covers the scientific, technical, medical, and social science literature - indexes over 19,500 peer-reviewed journal titles from over 5,000 publishers. Provides information to over 46 million articles and conference proceedings. The database covers the literature from 1966 to the present and is updated daily. Specifically, SCOPUS covers topics in biological and agricultural sciences, chemistry physics, mathematics, engineering, earth and environmental sciences, social science, psychology, economics, business/management, and history. SCOPUS covers 100% of the information indexed by the Medline database.  How to Search This Database
