ScienceDirect at USD

 

While you can still search the entire Sciencedirect database for abstracts of articles, full-text coverage is now limited to only those journals that we subscribe to. We have chosen to subscribe to six subject collections (aprox 600 journals) and these along with our Academic Press titles constitute the full text now available to us.

The green icon indicates that we subscribe to the journal and have full-text access.

If you would like to limit your search to only those journals that have full-text access there are two ways to do this.

1. From the main search screen choose the journals tab. Below the area where you enter search terms is a dropdown box called 'source'. Here you can select "subscribed" so that you will only be searching journals that are available in full-text.

2. You can also browse full text journals by choosing the "Publications" search at the top of the screen. In the box called "Display" you can choose to view subscribed journals. You can sort these journals by title, subject, or publisher.

If you have any questions about searching please contact the reference desk ( ext. 4765) or :
