Finding Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed Articles
You can find articles on chemical topics and interdisciplinary science topics in several of these databases. Many of these databases have search tools that are specific to chemistry or other science subjects. You can request items that the library does not have access to through Interlibrary Loan at this link.
- Ulrichsweb This link opens in a new windowUlrichsweb is an easy to search source of detailed information on more than 300,000 academic and scholarly journals, e-journals, peer-reviewed titles, popular magazines, newspapers, newsletters, and more. Ulrichsweb covers more than 900 subject areas.
Physics Databases
- Physical Review Journals This link opens in a new windowProvides access to full-text articles published in various Physical Review journals from the American Physical Society.

Other sources of physics documents
- E-Print NetworkDatabase of E-prints from the U.S. Dept of Energy. E-prints are scholarly and professional works electronically produced and shared by researchers with the intent of communicating research findings to colleagues. They may include preprints, reprints, technical reports, conference publications or other means of electronic communication.
