Getting Scientific Articles at UAH

What can I get?

Use one or more General Search Engines

1. NCBI PubMed Search Engine (Arguably, The Best Search Engine. Has links to many free PDFs. (Has limited coverage of evolutionary and ecological journals.
   
   
2. Science Direct Search Engine (A Pretty good engine, with direct links to the subscribed Elsevier PDFs)
   
   
3. Highwire Search Engine --A Pretty good search engine with links to the Free PDFs.
   
   
4. Medline FirstSearch Engine --A crippled PubMed interface that indicates UAH Print Subscriptions. Only works on campus.
   
   
5. Cambridge Scientific Search Engine --An Okay engine, with lousy links. Might be good for Evolution and Ecology?
