| Webster - The Maxwell Library on-line catalog. Go to the "Guide to Library Resources", and click on "Webster" on the left panel. Search for items in Maxwell Library's collections by keyword, title, author, subject heading, call number, or journal title. | |
| Science Databases. Go to the "Guide to Library Resources", and click on "Databases" on the left panel. You should now have three choices to access the databases: the "Alphabetical" list of databases, the "Full Text" database list, and the database list organized by "Subject." Three of the better Science Databases are summarized below. | |
| (1) Science Direct. Articles from 175 journals published by Academic Press, predominantly in the sciences (biology; medicine; psychology). Since its commercial launch in 1999, ScienceDirect has evolved from a web database of Elsevier Science journals to one of the world's largest providers of scientific, technical and medical (STM) literature. | (2) STN. Databases available are CA (Chemical Abstracts 1967-present), CAOLD (pre-1967 citations, limited coverage), and the Registry (a chemical structure and dictionary database). Hours of operation for searching are 5pm to 5am the following day, Monday through Friday; 5pm Friday till 6pm Saturday; 8am Sunday-5am the following Monday. |
| (3) Medline. The premier database for articles from medical journals from around the world. This version also contains the full text for 80 biomedical journals. | |
| Other
Excellent Science Databases on the Web | |
| HighWire. As a research university with an excellent life science research faculty and an extraordinary medical school and hospitals, Stanford is vitally interested in the communication of research results. The journals HighWire supports correspondingly focus on science, technology, and medicine (STM) and are preponderantly among the highest-impact journals in the literature. | |
| Scirus. Scirus is the most comprehensive science-specific search engine on the Internet. Driven by the latest search engine technology, Scirus searches over 150 million science-specific Web pages, enabling you to quickly pinpoint scientific, technical and medical data on the web; find the latest reports, peer-reviewed articles and journals; and locate university sites and scientists' home pages that other search engines miss. Scirus has proved so successful at locating science-specific results on the Web that the Search Engine Watch Awards voted Scirus 'Best Specialty Search Engine' in 2001 and 2002. | |
