AGRICOLA is a public domain Web site created by the National Agricultural Library with bibliographic databases of citations to the agricultural literature. The records describe publications and sources encompassing agriculture and allied disciplines, including animal and veterinary sciences, entomology, plant sciences, forestry, and environmental sciences. The Web interface may contain citations or may link to agency authored publications.

Full text access to 30+ selected titles published by the American Chemical Society; provides coverage of chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, physical chemistry, and organic chemistry.

Annual Reviews provides researchers, professors, and scientific professionals with a definitive academic resource in 37 scientific disciplines. Annual Reviews saves you time by synthesizing the vast amount of primary research literature and identifying the principal contributions in your field.

Find information from a wide variety of applied science specialties—acoustics to aeronautics, neural networks to nuclear engineering—from leading trade and industrial journals, professional and technical society journals, specialized subject periodicals, buyers’ guides, directories, and conference proceedings.

WilsonWeb’s Biological & Agricultural Index Plus is a bibliographic database that indexes English-language periodicals published in the United States and elsewhere. The database includes abstracts and full text coverage for selected journals. Periodical coverage includes a wide range of scientific journals, from popular to professional, that pertain to biology and agriculture.

Coverage dates:Indexing 1983+, Abstracting 1994+, “select” Full Text 1994+ .Biological & Agricultural Index Plus offers researchers convenient online access to the core literature of biology and agriculture—much of it from peer-reviewed journals—plus full text. Full text citations also link to PDF page images, featuring graphs, charts, diagrams, photos, and illustrations indispensable to science research.

BioOne is an Internet-based collection of electronic journals in the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences. Access is to citations only so requests assistance from the library for document delivery.

An index of Latin American journals in the sciences and humanities.

Nature Encyclopedia of Life Sciences includes 3,000 original peer-reviewed articles written by an international roster of 5,000 experts in their fields.

Aimed at researchers, students and teachers, articles provide comprehensive and authoritative coverage, written by leaders in the field. Colour illustrations and tables accompany articles, with appendix and glossary material providing information for the non-specialist, including biochemical and taxonomic information, acronyms, synonyms, units and other technical data. All articles have been peer-reviewed to ensure a balanced representation of the literature. Articles are divided into three different categories indicating their level of complexity: Introductory, Advanced and Keynote. Introductory articles have been written primarily for undergraduate and non-specialists requiring the basic concepts of a particular subject. Advanced articlesprovide a more detailed discussion of specialist subjects, equivalent to that found in graduate level texts. Keynote articles provide a platform for debate where controversial issues and ‘hot topics’ can be discussed.

Subjects: Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Ecology, Evolution and Diversity of Life, Functional and Comparative Morphology, Genetics and Disease, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Immunology, Microbiology, Neuroscience, Plant Science, Science and Society, Structural Biology, Virology.

Updated daily, the General Science Collection includes over a million full-text articles covering current information about scientific developments in numerous areas. More than 200 journals are covered, including:  American Scientist, BioScience, Geographical Review, Mineralogical Record, National Geographic , School Science and Mathematics,  and many more.

Searchable full-text of the 4th edition of the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, which provides information of the chemical industry and allied fields.

Written by prominent scholars from industry, academia, and research institutions, the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology presents a wide scope of articles on chemical substances—including their properties, manufacturing, and uses. It also focuses on industrial processes and unit operations in chemical engineering, as well as covering fundamentals and scientific subjects related to the field. Additionally, environmental and health issues concerning chemical technology are also addressed.Key features include over 1,000 articles, with more than 600 new or updated — over 10% of the content is updated annually and monthly updates that keep the online version on the cutting edge of chemical technology.

Includes 21 million citations, including limited full-text articles. This version of MEDLINE is only accessible while one is affiliated with LMU, so, unless you are familiar with the FirstSearch interface, librarians recommend that you use PubMed, the freely-available version of MEDLINE that can be used by anyone anywhere.

“The Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) is an international organization dedicated to promoting the adoption, creation, use, dissemination and preservation of electronic analogues to traditional paper-based theses and dissertations. The NDLTD assists students and universities in using electronic publishing and digital libraries to more effectively share knowledge in order to unlock the potential benefits worldwide.”

PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine, includes over 21 million citations for biomedical articles. These citations are from MEDLINE and additional life science journals. Also provides access to 70 leading veterinary journals. To limit your search to veterinary science, simply select “animal” in “Limits.” To limit your search to nursing journals, simply select “Nursing journals” as a “Subset” in “Limits.”

Science Full Text Select is a 100% full-text database providing full-text articles, with their accompanying indexing and abstracts, from a core selection of science periodicals in the following periodical databases: Applied Science & Technology Full Text; Biological & Agricultural Index; and General Science Full Text. Additional relevant journals selected from other Wilson periodical databases are also included. Full text coverage begins in 1994 or later depending on rights for a particular journal.

This database includes over 1,000 full-text journals that are useful to biology, nursing, osteopathic medicine, psychology, veterinary technology, and other programs of study. Full-text content dates back to 1995.

Includes curriculum tools for students and teachers such as information about understanding science standards and  guides for science fair experiments.  Also includes a science encyclopedia as well as biographies and conversations with scientists, an image gallery, and in depth reference articles covering a multitude of current and controversial topics related to science.
