Astronomy - General (UNH - Durham)

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), a unit of the Office of Science, fulfills agency-wide responsibilities to collect, preserve, and disseminate both unclassified and classified scientific and technical information (STI) emanating from DOE-funded research and development (R&D) activities at DOE national laboratories and facilities and at universities and other institutions nationwide. OSTI provides access to DOE STI through a suite of web-based, searchable discovery tools and through other commonly used search engines, offering ever-expanding sources of R&D information to DOE, the research community, and the science-attentive public.

Open access to 607,265 e-prints in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance and Statistics

This abstract database, produced by ISI, permits citation searching and general reference searching of the world's most cited research journals, from 1977-present. The Science section is also known as Science Citation Index or SciSearch and covers nearly 6,000 journals. UNH only.

Science.gov searches over 42 databases and over 2000 selected websites from 14 federal agencies, offering 200 million pages of authoritative U.S. government science information including research and development results. Science.gov is governed by the interagency Science.gov Alliance

Includes citations for dissertations ranging from 1861 to those accepted last semester; those published from 1980 forward include 350-word abstracts. Citations for master's theses from 1988 forward include 150-word abstracts. Titles represent authors from North America and Europe, with over a million titles in full text.

For over 25 years we have been tracking the growth and developments in astronomy in this dictionary. For this new edition, the fifth in the book's life, we have completely reviewed and updated all the existing entries, from A0620-00 to XUV astronomy, and have added around 200 entries to reflect recent advances in astronomy and related fields. The book will provide a valuable resource both to those studying astronomy at school or university and to the many enthusiastic amateur astronomers.

Ebscohost Web is a great database for those just beginning their lower-level research in astronomy. If you use the right filters, along with the proper keywords, then your results should reflect not only the subject your researching, but a reading-level that doesn't require a PhD.

ARIBIB (Astronomisches Rechen-Institut Bibliographical Database for Astronomical References) covers international astronomy research from the remote past through mid-2000, including biographical and historical material. Types of sources include journals, proceedings, books and reports. This free database includes abstracts originally published in printed form in:
Astronomy & Astrophysics Abstracts, 1969-2000 (in print at UNH Physics Library), Astronomischer Jahresbericht, 1899-1968, and earlier bibliographies (see ARIBIB home page for full info).
