Journal articles:
American Chemical Society journals are available at this site (access to full text of articles from the campus network only) http://pubs.acs.org/about.html
Wiley Interscience at http://www.interscience.wiley.com You must first create a user account while using the campus network if you want to access this database from outside of the campus network.
General library article databases: EBSCOhost Academic Search Complete and Academic OneFile.
New collection of science articles: Science Resource Center. These databases are available to students and faculty while outside the campus network. Use your student or faculty ID number.
Look for a journal in the LHU Libraries with LHU Journal Finder: http://voyager.ship.edu/remote/validate.cgi?db=SS
Journals may be online, on microfilm or microfiche, in bound journals, or as current printed issues.
If an article that you need is on microfilm or microfiche, you can request to have it scanned and emailed to you by filling out a web form on the Stevenson Library home page here: http://illiad.lhup.edu/logon.html
If we don't own the journal in any form, request the article through the ILLiad interlibrary loan system at http://illiad.lhup.edu/logon.html
