Databases – how to find articles
 

The MBLWHOI Library licenses a variety of databases for the use of our researchers. The majority of our databases are not full-text. You will need to use the Get-Text link to determine our access to that particular article. The list of databases is browsable; however we have pulled the most frequently used databases to the top of each page. These include:

Elsevier Science Direct - use this database to search for articles in all Elsevier journals. The library subscribes to many Elsevier journals, but we do not have access to everything. Getting started video http://www.info.sciverse.com/videos/introducing
ASFA and GeoRef - This interface searches both Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts and GeoRef, as well as all at the same time. Both databases cover a variety of sources including journal articles, conference proceedings, white papers and book chapters. This is a good database to search for keywords or ideas.
Web of Science - Access the world’s leading scholarly literature in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities and examine proceedings of international conferences, symposia, seminars, colloquia, workshops, and conventions
