Search the following indexes to locate citations to and/or full-text of journal articles. If the article does not appear to be full-text online, search for its availability using the Journal Finder. Journals listed as "in Geisel Library Paper Holdings" are shelved alphabetically by journal title on the Lower Level of the library. Many others are available full-text online by following the links provided.
Academic Search Premier
A broad index providing abstracts and some full-text for a range of academic areas, including physics.
Astrophysics Data System
"The main body of data in the ADS consists of bibliographic records, including abstracts, of conference proceedings, bulletins, and
observatory publications in astronomy and astrophysics. Some full-text articles are also included in this database."
PapersFirst
A citation-only database; links to papers presented at meetings, conferences and symposia worldwide. It is often possible to obtain the papers via our Interlibrary Loan service.
SciFinder Scholar
SciFinder Scholar provides access to Chemical Abstracts from 1907 to the present. Visit the library's SciFinder Scholar page for more information on this database.
Spires HEP Literature Database
The Stanford Public Information Retrieval System (SPIRES) indexes more than 500,000 high energy physics-related papers in this public
access database.

Search the library catalog to locate books in Geisel Library. Search by keyword (e.g., big bang theory) if you are unsure of the title you are looking for. Most physics books are located on the Upper Level of the library in the QC section. Search
WorldCat to search collections of libraries worldwide. Find a book in this database, and, if not owned by SAC, you can request it from Interlibrary Loan with one click. Your book(s) will be available for pickup in the library within 7–14 days. Ask for help in using this database at the reference desk, in person, or online at Ask a Librarian.

Searching the World Wide Web can yield a vast amount of information, but in terms of quality and reliability, your results may be
uneven at best. The ease and speed with which individuals can publish information on the web, regardless of accuracy or quality,
makes it imperative that when doing research on the web you know how to evaluate the information you find. To learn more, see Judging What You Find.
