Online Databases

Please note: not all journal articles in the following databases are full-text. Please email Ms. Steim if you would like to request an article via inter-library loan. 

 

  • Gale Science in Context: A nice starting place for researching significant scientific topics.  Provides magazine and newspaper articles, academic/scholarly/peer-reviewed journals, experiments, and media. Has some full-text content.
  • Academic OneFile: Also a Gale database, so there may be some overlap with Science in Context. Provides magazine and newspaper articles, academic/scholarly/peer-reviewed journals for many academic subjects (not just science).

Some Database Searching Aides:

  • EBSCO Discovery Service: Allows you to search ALL of our databases at one time.
  • A-Z Locator: Allows you to see if we have full-text access to a magazine or scholarly journal.

Free Websites

  • PDB (Protein Data Bank): An information portal to biological macromolecular structures. Good if you have a specific molecule or macromolecule you want to know about.
  • PubMed: Published by the National Library of Medicine and the National Center for Biotechnology Information, PubMed contains citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Some articles are available in full text from PubMed Central.
    • ScienceResearch: A free, publicly available deep web search engine that searches over 300 databases, including many aren’t indexed by Google in real-time.  It also drops duplicates and returns high-quality results.
  • Elsevier ScienceDirect: ScienceDirect is a database of peer-reviewed journals, articles, and book chapters. Although we do not subscribe to this database, there is a good amount of open-access content that can be looked at for free. If you find a citation that is not full-text or open-access, we can request the full text for you through inter-library loan.
