SciFinder-n is a comprehensive database for coverage of chemistry and chemical engineering. It has the world's largest collection of organic and inorganic substance information. It provides integrated access to CAPlus, CAS registry, CASREACT, CHEMLIST, and CHEMCATS, which are produced by Chemical Abstracts Service; and to MEDLINE, which is produced by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

As in its earlier interation titled SciFinder, sources covered include over 10,000 journals, patents from over 60 patent authorities, book chapters, conference proceedings, dissertations, evaluated reference works, technical reports, as well as book reviews and biographical information. 15 million PatentPak PDFs are included, as well as 5 million synthetic protocols. SciFindern̳ provides researchers with improved searching functionality and additional tools to analyze and manipulate retrieved data sets
Inspec
Discontinued. Access ended August 31, 2022.
Inspec provides access to the world's scientific and technical literature in physics, electrical engineering, electronics, communications, control engineering, computers and computing, and information technology; also has significant coverage in areas such as materials science, aeronautics, oceanography, nuclear engineering, geophysics, biomedical engineering and biophysics. Searches Physics Abstracts and more.
SPIE Digital Library This link opens in a new window
The SPIE Digital Library provides online access to SPIE journals and conference proceedings.

Astrophysics Data System (ADS)
ADS is a digital library portal for researchers in astronomy and physics, containing more than 13 million records covering publications in Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics, and the arXiv e-prints.
INSPIRE
INSPIRE is an Open Access digital library for the field of high energy physics (HEP). It is the successor of the Stanford Physics Information Retrieval System (SPIRES) database.
Mathematical Physics Preprint Archive (mp-arc)
mp_arc is an electronic archive for research papers in Mathematical Physics and related areas.
