As a student or employee at SLU you have access to an extensive range of databases via the SLU-Libraries. Here we present some of our most used databases.
Web of Knowledge
is our largest and probably most important international database, with more than 90 million documents.
In Web of Knowledge you find the databases:
Scopus
is a large general database with more than 33 million documents.
The search syntax is special: compound words must be put within quotation marks for the search to be correct. Example:
(moose or "alces alces") and sweden
The Google search engine for scientific material, Scholar, is interesting because it often searches in full text.
Since it only covers what is available on the Internet the coverage is limited, but with its full text search and good search result ranking it is a good complement to other searching.
In most of our databases there is an SFX icon that links to the full text documents, with options of further searching and ordering the document.
