Database Title	Summary - Full Description	Coverage	Full Text
Safari Tech Books Online	Safari is an electronic reference library for programmers and IT professionals.		Yes
Science Citation Index Expanded	Science Citation Index Expanded is part of ISI's Web of Science database. It provides access to current and retrospective bibliographic information, author abstracts, and cited references in about 5,900 of the world's scholarly science and technical journals covering more than 150 disciplines. Online coverage extends back to 1977.	1945 - present	No
Science of Synthesis (Houben-Weyl)	Science of Synthesis is the 5th edition of the Houben-Weyl Methods in Organic Chemistry reference book series. It is a highly organized and authoritative collection of reviews on organic and organometallic synthetic methods. Reviews contain full experimental procedures and background information. Its purpose is to provide a direct path through the mass of primary literature to the pertinent data on a comprehensive range of organic reactions. The base set (2000 to present) contains information on over 275,000 reactions and 30,000 experimental procedures for 2,700 different types of compounds. The content is full-text, structure, and reaction searchable. The Houben-Weyl Electronic Backfile (1909 to 2003) is also included and provides immediate access to 146,000 product specific experimental procedures, 580,000 structures, and 700,000 references in all fields of synthetic organic chemistry - dating back to the early 1800s. [Note: most of this backfile is in German, but the base set (2000- ) is in English.]	1909-present	Yes
Science Online	More than the journal, Science, the content of this website extends into ethics, policies, sociology, pedagogy, etc. as it relates to science and how science impacts those areas. The journal, Science, and its preprint version, ScienceExpress, and Science Now, a daily news web page are all available full-text. Also accessible: Three virtual knowledge environments - Signal Transduction Knowledge Environment (STKE), Science of Aging Knowledge Environment (SAGE), and AIDS Online - each of which has an online journal, laboratory protocol section, various bioinformatics products, and more. Functional Genomics. Full access to current awareness services. Some of these resources, especially those within SAGE, are aimed at non-scientists and teachers of science.		Yes
SciFinder (Chemical Abstracts)	SciFinder Scholar is a means of accessing the Chemical Abstracts database using a powerful and intuitive search engine to find references to articles easily. Search for chemical data using a molecular formula, chemical name, chemical structure, reaction components, author name, or topic of interest.	1907 - present	Partial
SEG Technical Standards	SEG standards are provide in an online, downloadable form as a convenience to the geophysical industry. Many of the earlier standards have been converted to Microsoft Word 7.0 format from the originally published form.	1967-	Yes
Sociological Abstracts	Abstracts of the world's serial literature in sociology and related disciplines and enhanced bibliographic citations of relevant dissertations from the Sociological Abstracts and SOPODA. Approximately 1600 journals in 30 languages from 55 countries are abstracted in this resource.	1974 - present	Partial
SPIE (International Society for Optical Engineering)	SPIE Digital Library is an extensive resource on optics and photonics, providing access to more than 230,000 technical papers from SPIE Journals (dates vary) and Proceedings of the SPIE, v.1200 (1990) - present. More than 17,000 new research papers are added annually.	1990 - present	Yes
SPRESIweb	Choose "IP Login" to begin searching. With an emphasis on organic molecules, SPRESIweb Allows structure, chemical reaction, property, and text searching from over 1350 journals and numerous conferences and patents. SPRESIweb provides access to 7 million molecules and 3.9 million reactions from 645,000 references. SPRESIweb also has a useful Synthesis Tree Search (STS) feature that allows you to build a synthesis pathway. SPRESIweb also contains information on commercial availability and is particularly strong in non-English language journals.	1974-2009	No
Springer E-Books	Contains full-text of books/book chapters, conference papers, and journal articles published by Springer. Purdue University Libraries' subscription to e-books starts in 2005 and covers many disciplines.	2005 - present	Yes
Statisical Theory and Method Abstracts/STMA online	The Current Index to Statistics is a bibliographic index to publications in statistics, probability, and related fields. The on-line CIS Extended Database (CIS-ED) indexes * the entire contents of over 160 "core journals", in most cases from 1975 (or first issue if later) to the current end year, and pre-1975 coverage for some, * selected articles with statistical content since 1975 from about 1200 additional journals (cumulatively) in related fields, and * about 11,000 books in statistics published since 1975.	1975-pres	No
Synthesis Digital Library of Engineering and Computer Science	Synthesis is an innovative information service for the research, development, and educational community in engineering and computer science. The basic component of the library is a 50- to 100-page "Lecture"; a self-contained electronic book that synthesizes an important research or development topic, authored by an expert contributor to the field.	2005-	Yes
