Biological & Environmental Sciences: Resources

OneSearch combines most of the library's online resources into a single database. Rather than search databases separately, you can do just "one search." OneSearch includes articles, ebooks, and more. (EBSCO)

Biological Abstracts indexes the life sciences and biomedical research information. It provides "abstracts," not full-text. Any full-text that appears is because that article was available through another library database. Note: Indexed content is limited to 1998 through June 2019. (EBSCO)

Covers: ecosystem ecology, energy, natural resources, marine & freshwater science, geography, agriculture, pollution & waste management, environmental technology, environmental law, public policy, social impacts, urban planning, and more. (EBSCO)

This premier medical research database includes very high end journal content, with significant full-text availability. Note: This EBSCO version of MEDLINE provides many more full-text articles than PubMed. (EBSCO)

A full-text archive of over 1,700 of the best scholarly journals in the social sciences, humanities, mathematics, life sciences, etc. Full-text is available from the first issue, but usually does not include the most recent 2-5 years. Note: A very small number of journals now include current content.

This is the free version of BioOne, a database of biological, ecological, and environmental sciences. It is set to search ONLY the "open access" articles. Under "Refine By," use the "Search within" box to add your search terms. This will find FREE articles.

Google Scholar finds scholarly articles, books, papers, etc.

A large and all-inclusive database that covers almost every academic subject. (EBSCO)

From the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Library, AGRICOLA covers journal articles, monographs, theses, patents, software, audiovisual materials, and technical reports related to agriculture back to 1970. (EBSCO)

Covers scholarly, government, and popular sources on all aspects of human impact to the environment, including: global climate change, green building, pollution, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, recycling, and more. (EBSCO)

PubMed is a free resource for researching biomedical and life sciences literature. It does not include full-text journal articles itself. However, links to the full text are often present when it is available from other sources. It includes the citations from the MEDLINE database, full-text from PubMed Central, and citations for books. Cal U patrons: using the Library's version of MEDLINE Complete will provide you with much more full-text.
