Physics - Internet Guide

Science search engines

Scirus
The most comprehensive science-specific search engine on the Internet, locating scientific, scholarly, technical and medical data, latest reports, peer-previewed articles, patents, preprints and science-specific Web pages.

Google Scholar
Google Scholar searches scholarly information on the internet. Google Scholar is free to all, but much of the material it finds is not freely available without a subscription. By using the links to Google Scholar on the Library website, and subsequently logging in to Remote Access when you are off-campus, you will be able to access the full text of articles in journals to which the Library subscribes.
