Article Databases

Subject Specific:

IEEE Xplore Digital Library
Full-text access to IEEE transactions, journals, magazines and conference proceedings published since 1988 and all current IEEE standards. Note: use INSPEC, Web of Science or Google Scholar for a broader search that will include IEEE content, as well as content from other publishers.
ACM Digital Library
Searchable database contains bibliographic information, abstracts, reviews, and the full text for articles published in Association for Computing Machinery periodicals and proceedings since 1947
INSPEC
Index of citations for articles and conference papers in physics, electrical engineering, computers, and information technology. Covers items published from 1898 to the present.

Multidisciplinary

Web of Science
Multidisciplinary index to scholarly and authoritative articles. Cited Reference Search finds articles that cite an author or article that you specify. Covers items published from 1899 to the present.
Google Scholar
Database covering many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, and online repositories. Use Eduroam (on campus), or the VPN (off-campus) to access full-text of UCSC subscribed content.

Technical Reports

National Technical Reports Library
NTRL (National Technical Reports Library) is from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) within the Department of Commerce. NTRL provides access to government-sponsored research, development and technical reports with full-text access to reports that have been digitized. Searches over 3 million reports with links to over 800,000 full-text reports. 1964 to present

Patents

Google Patents
Google Patents includes over 87 million patent publications from 17 patent offices around the world, as well as many more technical documents and books indexed in Google Scholar and Google Books. Non-English patents are translated, so you can search for them with English keywords.

European Patent Office
Simple searches on bibliographic data in patent documents. The default printing option is page by page only - but they are free. To print an entire patent, follow these instructions: Search for a patent. Click on a title; when the page loads, click on the original document tab. When this page displays, the printer icon is grayed out. Click on Save Full Document at the top of the page. Read the screen and enter the letters shown. The entire document loads now as a pdf and all the pages can be printed.
