• Science Citation Index Expanded or ISI Web of Science   
  Current information as well as backfiles to 1900 are found in full text on the Web of Science. ISI Citation Databases include bibliographic information gathered from thousands of scholarly journals. It is indexed so that the researcher can look for specific articles by subject, author, journal, and/or author address. Additionally, it is possible to search the databases for articles that cite a known author or work.

• Dissertation Abstracts
  Provides citations and abstracts to theses and dissertations to colleges and universities in North America and Europe.
• Electronic Theses and Dissertations Center (OhioLINK)
  Online theses and disssertations from Ohio graduate students from participating Ohio colleges and universities.

  While some dissertations may be available through Interlibrary Loan, this is not always the case. Not all holding libraries not loan dissertations and theses through ILL. In some instances there may be a fee.

• Electronic Book Center (OhioLINK)
  Scholarly full-text books from several publishers.
• Electronic Journal Center (EJC)
  Full-text journals from OhioLINK electronic journal subscriptions. Currently includes over 6000 scholarly journals in a variety of disciplines. To best benefit from this database, use the Engineering Category and select either the Materials Science or Mechanical Engineering sub-categories.

For additional assistance in finding journals available through Maag Library, use the Maag Journal Finder. You can search for a specific journal by title or ISSN or browse the Engineering and Applied Sciences category.
