Indexes / Databases
Biological Abstracts (BIOSIS Previews)
- BIOSIS Previews is the most comprehensive index in life sciences. It combines journal content from Biological Abstracts with supplemental, non-journal content from Biological Abstracts/RRM® (Reports, Reviews and Meetings):
- Subject coverage: general biology, molecular biology, genetics, biotechnology, biochemistry, ecology, environmental biology, botany, zoology, biomedicine, pharmacology, veterinary science, nutrition; and public health.
Medline (via PubMed)
- PubMed database provides citations with abstracts to worldwide biomedical literature. Covers research, clinical practice, administration, policy issues and healthcare. Includes all foreign languages and is fully indexed.
- Connect and use PubMed via the Libraries' web site to benefit from our subscriptions to online journals
Science Citation Index Expanded, on Web of Science (1989-onward)
- Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI) is a multidisciplinary database, with searchable author abstracts, covering the journal literature of the sciences. It indexes 5,900 major journals across 150 scientific disciplines
- SCI for 1985-89 is available on CD-ROM at Vanier Library; 1965-1992 is available in print at Vanier Library: Index Z 7401 S365
Ecological Abstracts on Geobase
- GEOBASE integrates the content of several print indexes, including Ecological Abstracts
- INDEX QL 392 H4 Vanier Library
