Article Search Engines
ACM Digital LibraryUse the ACM DL to discover full-text articles from all of the Association of Computing Machinery journals and selected conference proceedings. Some ACM affiliated organizations contribute content also. Abstracts are included for relevant non-ACM references.

Applied Science and Technology Full TextUse Applied Science and Technology to find full-text articles from professional and technical society journals, engineering periodicals, buyers’ guides, directories, and conference proceedings. AS&Tcan be a good place to start your search but AS&T misses some specialized engineering materials and contains only a small part of the engineering literature.

- Business Source CompleteBusiness Source Complete points to journal articles, conference papers, research reports, and case studies. Use BSC when you need to find business literature on logistics and applied industrial systems. Some full-text is available but you will need to use the Find-It button to determine Wright State access options to some of the literature.

IEEE XploreUse IEEE Xplore digital library (or IEL) to get full-text access to world wide technical literature in electrical engineering, computer science, electronics, and other related disciplines. IEEE Xplore includes IEEE journals, magazines, transactions, conference proceedings, and standards. IEEE Xplore also points to content from select other publishers including the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), MIT Press, IBM, Alcatel-Lucent, VDE Verlag, Morgan & Claypool, Tsinghua University Press, and Beijing Institute of Aerospace Information (BIAI).

- APA PsycINFOPsycINFO points to journal articles, conference papers and book chapters. Use PsycINFO when you need to find psychological literature on human perception and behaviour. Some full-text is available but you will need to use the Find-It button to determine Wright State access options to most of the literature.

PubMedPubMed points to many different kinds of biomedical literature including research articles, clinical reports, and case studies. Use the Find-It button to determine Wright State access options to the literature.
[Wright State University Libraries purchased some article level access for you from multiple publishers.]
SPIE Digital LibraryUse the SPIE Digital Library to search the full text of technical papers and conference proceedings published by the International Society for Optics and Photonics . The SPIE DL is a good place to find specialized articles on biomedical optics and imaging, defense and industrial sensing, and electronic imaging and processing. This resource has been licensed for the Wright State University Main Campus. The license excludes SPIE eBook access.

Article Search Engines (Publisher Collections)
Search these publisher-based collections to find high quality journal articles and book chapters. You will miss relevant conference papers and research reports if you limit your strategy to these search engines.
Electronic Journal Center (EJC)The EJC includes full-text articles from select STEM publishers (e.g.: Elsevier and Springer) and some professional associations. Use this search engine to discover journal articles from more than one publisher. Much of Science Direct and SpringLinK can be found in the OhioLINK Electronic Journal Center and Electronic Book Center.
[Wright State University Libraries purchased access for you thru OhioLINK membership.]
ScienceDirectUse this search engine to discover journal articles and book chapters published by Elsevier. Wright State has Elsevier access to all material marked with a green square.
[Wright State University Libraries purchased access for you from Elsevier.]
SpringerLinkUse this search engine to discover journal articles and book chapters published by Springer. Wright State does not have Springer access to material marked by a yellow padlock.

Google Scholar
Ratchet-up the quality of your Google search. Search Google Scholar to find journal articles, conferences papers, and patents. Google Scholar may offer you a link to the paper -- but it is more likely to point to a publisher - who will ask you to pay. The Wright State University Libraries may be able to get you the paper you need.
Use the Settings option:
Tip #1: Add the OhioLINK "library link" to integrate Wright State access options into your results.
Tip#2: If you are off-campus and see a reCAPTCHA error message "invalid domain for site key," go directly to google scholar; open the menu; choose Settings; Library Links; find and select "Wright State University - Full Text - Wright State."

The database might point to the article instead of attaching the pdf.
Look for this button:
FindIt analyzes the article citation. FindIt will point to the Wright State University electronic copy of the article if one is available. If FindIt can't find the article easily, FindIt will offer other options. Sometimes FindIt can't negotiate all of the article options and you may need help to find the article manually or order it through Interlibrary Loan.

Can't find the full-text? That's normal. Contact the Engineering Librarian. He will help you to find a copy. You may have to place an ILL order for material Wright State does not already own.
