Search For A Specific Article
Use the Citation Linker to see if Lehigh has access to a specific article.
Core Article Databases
- Google Scholar This link opens in a new windowGoogle Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature across many disciplines and sources.
(Note: To maximize access to Lehigh resources, when in Google Scholar, go to Settings, then Library links, then type in Lehigh University. If we do not subscribe to an article, this setting will enable a Lehigh Link to obtain the article via interlibrary loan.) - Web of Science This link opens in a new windowThe original citation index of predominantly STEM fields; used to find current articles that cite earlier work. Note: Web of Science generally does not include conference proceedings in search results.
Other Databases
- IEEE Xplore This link opens in a new windowElectrical, electronic, and computer engineering journals and conferences from the IEEE and IET; full text. Also includes IEEE standards.
