This guide was designed by Eleanor L. Lomax to help identify resources on Mathematical Sciences and related topics in the FAU Boca Raton Library. The electronic resources are available from the FAU Libraries home page by following the links entitled Indexes/ Databases or Articles. Some of these resources have full-text articles available online. To access these resources from off campus, use the EZ Proxy link and log in using your 14-digit Owl Card number. For further assistance, please contact the Reference Desk by telephone (561-297-3785) or send e-mail lyref@fau.edu.


ELECTRONIC DATABASES

 
Applied Science & Technology

Abstracting coverage begins with periodicals published in March 1993. Full Text coverage begins in 1997.

Cambridge Scientific Abstracts - FAU Libraries Electronic Collections and WebLUIS
These databases cover a broad range of specific subjects in the following scientific disciplines: aquatic sciences, medical and biological sciences, environmental sciences, computer sciences and engineering specialties, and materials sciences. Coverage varies by databases

Current Contents Connect - Web of Science.
A weekly service that includes seven content databases covering approximately 6,600 unique journals in the areas of science, technology, medicine, social science, business, the humanities, and popular culture. Current 12 months.

Dissertation Abstracts - ProQuest
Citations and abstracts of American dissertations and master’s theses in all subject disciplines. 1861 to date.

General Science Abstracts
This database covers such areas as astronomy, atmospheric science, biology, botany, chemistry, conservation, earth science, environment, food, genetics, health, mathematics, medicine, microbiology, nutrition, oceanography, physics, physiology, and zoology. Full text coverage begins in January 1995.

INSPEC
Worldwide coverage of published works in physics, electrical engineering and electronics, computing, and information technology. Covers scientific and technical journals and conference proceedings and includes some books, reports, and dissertations. Coverage from 1969 to date.

MathSciNet
Comprehensive database of literature on mathematics and its applications in a wide range of disciplines. It covers statistics, computer science, operations research, econometrics, engineering, physics, biology and other related areas. Coverage from 1940 to date.

Science Citation Index ExpandedWeb of Science
Multi disciplinary database covering the journal literature of the sciences. Provides citations and author abstracts from 5300 major journals. 1992 to date.

WilsonSelectPlus
Wilson OmniFile Full Text, Mega Edition is a multi-disciplinary database providing the complete content - indexing, abstracts, and full text - from six of Wilson's full-text databases: Education Full Text, General Science Full Text, Humanities Full Text, Readers' Guide Full Text, Social Sciences Full Text, and Wilson Business Full Text. Full-text articles from five additional periodical databases are also included when available: Applied Science & Technology Full Text, Art Full Text, Biological & Agricultural Index, Index to Legal Periodicals & Books, and Library Literature & Information Science Full Text. Full-text coverage begins in 1994. Each database has its own start dates for indexing, abstracting, and full text; start dates for full-text rights to individual journals vary within a database.
