Google 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. Type in Lehigh University and select the check box next to “Lehigh University - Lehigh Links.” If we do not subscribe to an article, this setting will enable a Lehigh Link to obtain the article via other access or interlibrary loan.)
Links to PDFs when available; excellent for finding specific articles or books.
Serves as the largest central resource for government-funded scientific, technical, engineering, and business related information available
Many of the services listed here overlap coverage. Often reports previous to the mid-1980's are only indexed. Most of the engines provide sophisticated search options (technical report number, contract number, issuing agency, and the like). Unless otherwise indicated, these provide free access to reports.
