Information Resources in Physics

INSPEC - journal articles, conference papers, technical reports
Covers computer science, information technology, physics, electronics, robotics, control engineering, communications, and electrical engineering.
SCIENCE CITATION INDEX (WEB OF SCIENCE) - journal articles
Covers all areas in the sciences, and allows for cited reference searching/discovery.

Link directly to the full-text articles from within the databases above (in some cases) using Full-Text or Penn Text links
Search using FindIt! to see if we have the journal or conference available online.
Search Franklin, Penn Library's online catalog, to see if we have it in print. Request the article or book via Interlibrary Loan (ILL) if Penn doesn't have it.
