Indexes peer reviewed journals from 5,000 international publishers. It supports research needs of many disciplines including engineering, science, technology, and medicine. This is a new source in 2012 and permits downloads of many records. It does not cover as many years as Web of Science.
Google Scholar
Is a free service to many online journals and books. Since Purdue pays subscriptions to many online journals, setup your Library Links for Purdue University and Open World Cat - Library Search.
