Databases -- Quick Picks

Use this list to access the major databases for science and engineering subjects. You can also find additional databases for each subject in our comprehensive database list.

Use our Article and Journal Finder page to locate E-journals and the articles within them.

Use RefWorks to help organize and retrieve your research. There is a handy RefWorks Import How-To MS Word document available to help you figure out how to use RefWorks to import citations from many of the databases (including VIRGO) to which the Library subscribes. You can find additional help sheets and tips for using RefWorks here.

Unpublished Research (Gray Literature)

Locating information about unpublished research is frequently difficult, since most large commercial databases do not index this kind of material. The links below may be of some assistance, but no single source covers all areas so you will need to check more than one source. You should also check the resources listed on our Preprint Servers and Databases guide page, particularly for the areas of physics and computer science. Also, depending on the subject, a general search using the major WWW search engines can turn up information about ongoing research. For more information on gray literature, you may wish to check the International Journal on Grey Literature. Please contact the maintainer of this page if you know of other sources that would be good to include here.
