Databases
Databases are large, regularly updated files of articles from journals, magazines, and trade publications related to a specific subject or field. The databases listed below are related to natural resources and environmental sciences.
Some database coverage overlaps (i.e., some databases collect the same articles from the same journals), but you will find different results by searching in different databases. When you're aiming to be comprehensive in your research, it's a good idea to search more than one database.
- Agricola The bibliographic database of the National Agricultural Library. It is an excellent source for research of Agriculture & allied disciplines in the U. S.
- Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts 1: Biological Sciences and Living Resources Identifies articles regarding basic and applied research on aquatic organisms.
- Biological Abstracts Covers biochemistry, biology, botany, cell biology, medicine, microbiology, molecular biology, physiology and zoology. Goes back to 1969.
- CAB abstracts A comprehensive bibliographic database of Ag publications worldwide. Areas of interest significant to Ag Engineering, identified in CAB include: Biotechnology, Environment & allied disciplines, and Crop protection.
- Compendex, Engineering Village Covers all engineering disciplines including chemical, computer, electrical, civil, mechanical and physics engineering. Goes back to 1970.
- Digital Dissertations Theses and dissertations from U.S. & Canadian institutions. Read full text of dissertations produced at CIC institutions from 1997 to the present. Abstracts only are available for dissertations from 1980-1996; citations only on material from 1861-1979.
- Environmental sciences & pollution management
Major database with broad topic coverage, including agricultural biotechnology, ecology, aquatic ecology, microbiology, toxicology and environmental engineering. Searching within this database allows simultaneous searching of multiple databases. - Geobase Worldwide literature on geography, geology, and ecology.
- GeoRef Covers mineralogy, geochemistry, petrology, marine geology and oceanography, geology, geophysics, hydrogeology and hydrology, and environmental, economic, and engineering geology. Goes back to 1785.
- SciFinder Scholar [Chemical Abstracts] - The largest, most comprehensive chemical literature database.
- Web of Science Provides the most current index to over 8000 of the world's leading scholarly research journals in all disciplines; includes abstracts. Avail: 1982 - present. Includes a unique "cited reference" feature, to find articles that have cited a given article.
