JSTOR
JSTOR is a database consisting of only full-text articles from interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journals. Journals are included on the basis of number of subscribers the journal has, citation analysis, recommendations from
experts in the field, and the length of time that the journal has been
published. Coverage for each title begins with the first publication, with most titles ending coverage between three and five years ago.

McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology

Science Direct
Science Direct is the search engine for journals published by Elsevier, the world's largest publisher of science, technical, and medical (STM) journals. It is an excellent search engine for locating the finest scholarly and peer-reviewed ATM journals.
The Hekman Library subscribes to only a small number of citations found in this database. Interlibrary loan must be used to retrieve articles. Many of the features and services offered in this database are functional only for subscribers of Science Direct. The Hekman Library does not subscribe, so Calvin users access the site as guests.

WorldCat (Public)
WorldCat (Public) is a global network of library content. This WorldCat site provides some services and functionality not offered on the other WorldCat site, but the content is identical. WorldCat is ideal for locating research sources not owned by Calvin so that the sources can be acquired through InterLibrary Loan.
