Academic Search Premier
Considered the world's largest multi-discipline full-text database of scholarly knowledge, this database is a good place to start searching for information on almost any topic. Covering all areas of academic study, this database contains indexing and abstracting for more than 8,200 magazines and journals, of which more than 3,600 are full-text peer-reviewed publications.
arXiv.org
ArXiv is an e-print service with an extensive, searchable collection of mathematics, statistics, physics, quantitative biology, statistics, and computer science papers beginning in 1991. Started by Los Alamos Laboratories, arXiv is now owned and operated by Cornell University and partially funded by the National Science Foundation.
Compendex
Compendex is the definitive bibliographic database of worldwide engineering literature trusted by engineering researchers worldwide. With over ten million records that reference more than 5,600 scholarly journals, trade magazines and conference proceedings, Compendex covers an unmatched breadth and quality of engineering publications.
Inspec
Inspec, created by the IEE (Institution of Electrical Engineers), is the leading bibliographic database providing abstracts and indexing to the world's scientific and technical papers in physics, electrical engineering, electronics, communications, control engineering, computing, information technology, manufacturing, production and mechanical engineering. INSPEC also provides significant coverage in related disciplines such as materials science, oceanography, nuclear engineering, geophysics, biomedical engineering and many more. This database indexes ACM, IEEE, and SIAM publications, so it's a good one-stop search interface.
JSTOR
JSTOR (Journal STORage) is an archive of important scholarly journals in a variety of subject related to the humanities, physical sciences, and social sciences. Articles are scanned and viewable as exact duplicates from the original copy of the journal. JSTOR is not the place to search for the most current research, but overall is an excellent multidisciplinary database containing articles from many essential peer-reviewed sources. Subjects covered include Anthropology, Architecture, Biology, Business, Economics, Education, History, Language & Literature, Law, Mathematics, Performing Arts, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Public Policy & Administration, Religion, Sociology, and Statistics.
MathSciNet
Provided by the American Mathematical Society, MathSciNet is a searchable database of the world's scholarly mathematical literature since 1940, including reviews, abstracts and bibliographic information.
ScienceDirect
Online access to journals published by Elsevier, mainly in the fields of science, technology, and medicine. Use the "Browse" links to search for journals by subject area or title.
SIAM Journals - Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
An online digital library of publications of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, from 1997-present. Use the Advanced Search feature to search multiple titles simultaneously.
SpringerLink
Provides electronic access to the complete contents of a growing collection of SpringerLink journals in subjects including Mathematics and Computer Science (formerly Kluwer Journals).
Web of Science
Web of Science provides access to current and retrospective multidisciplinary information from approximately 8,700 of the most prestigious, high-impact research journals in the world. Web of Science also provides a unique search method, cited reference searching. With it, you can navigate forward, backward, and through the literature, searching all disciplines and time spans to uncover all the information relevant to your research. The citation index allows you to see (a) all the references cited by the article, and (b) what other articles have cited the article. This is a good database to use if you have an article of interest and want to expand your search to related documents. Links to related articles are provided.
