Databases

Agricola - Provides citations to literature in agriculture and related fields that have been acquired by the National Agricultural Library and its cooperating institutions since 1970. The database covers materials dating from the 15th century to the present. The records describe publications and resources encompassing all aspects of agriculture and allied disciplines, including plant and animal sciences, forestry, entomology, soil and water resources, agricultural economics, agricultural engineering, agricultural products, alternative farming practices, and food and nutrition.

Agricultural and Environmental Biotechnology Abstracts - Covers agricultural products, new applications across the food industry, and environmental developments. Plant genome studies are examined in detail. Other topics include patents, new product approval, fermenation, soil microorganisms, bioremediation, transgenic plants and animals, breeding techniques, biopesticides, food production and safety tests, treatment and disposal of wastes, biochemical applications in water treatment, and industrial hygiene.

Agricultural Biotechnology Abstracts - Including the CAB Abstracts and CAB Health, this is the leading database for literature related to agriculture and applied life sciences, including strong international coverage.

Agricultural Engineering Abstracts - Including the CAB Abstracts and CAB Health, this is the leading database for literature related to agriculture and applied life sciences, including strong international coverage.

Compendex - A bibliographic database of engineering research literature, containing references to over 5000 engineering journals and conferences.

IEEE Xplore - The online version of several IEEE journals, magazines, and proceedings.

Knovel - Knovel brings together essential Sci-tech reference data in a virtual technical library that solves problems for engineers and applied scientists. Users can access authoritative reference content from major Sci-tech publishers such as John Wiley & Sons, McGraw-Hill, and Elsevier. Users can analyze data in over 800 full-text engineering and scientific reference works, handbooks, and databases.

Referex - Comprises three carefully crafted collections (Chemical, Petrochemical and Process, Mechanical and Materials, and Electronics and Electrical) combining key sources of reference material. Content ranges from broad based engineering titles to highly specialized professional reference texts.

Science & Technology Collection - 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 publications.

Science Citation Index - This database covers the journal literature of the sciences. It indexes more than 5,800 major journals across 164 scientific disciplines from 1900 to the present. Some of the disciplines covered include: agriculture, neuroscience, astronomy, oncology, biochemistry, pediatrics, biology, pharmacology, biotechnology, physics, chemistry, plant sciences, computer science, psychiatry, materials science, surgery, mathematics, veterinary science, medicine, and zoology.

Science Direct - Serves as a web information source for scientific, technical, and medical (STM) research. It offers access to more than 1,100 journals in 16 fields of science, including the social sciences.
