Ecology and Evolution

A client server tool for retrieving information from databases produced by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS). CAS databases contain more than 14 million documents from more than 8000 journals. Documents include journals, patents, book reviews, meeting abstracts, dissertations, conference proceedings and technical reports. Subject coverage is broad in scope covering chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, toxicology, biology and environmental topics. SciFinder Scholar can be used to search for any of over 20 million chemical substances including organic compounds, inorganic compounds, coordination compounds, stereoisomers etc. One may also use a powerful "substructure searching mode" that searches a structure as a substructure of more complex structures. Subject searching is achieved using a unique natural language search engine that presents the user with a choice of search results. Full text of original documents is available via the ChemPort Connection provided that UWO has paid for online access to the journal. Frequent users of this database who have a prescribed Internet connection may wish to download the client softwareFor more information on SciFinder Scholar, see SciFinder Scholar.

Provides access to three multidisciplinary databases of bibliographic information indexed so that you can search for specific articles by subject, author, journal, and/or author address. Each Web of Science database includes the article's cited reference list (often called its bibliography). This unique feature allows searching for articles that cite a known author or work. Tutorial

Is a bibliographic database of the global literature in earth science, ecology, geography and marine science. Broad subject coverage and the range of sources abstracted make this an ideal tool for searching multidisciplinary topics such as environmental or geographical studies and other areas that cross traditional subject boundaries.
