Linda Hall Library Search Service
The Linda Hall Library Search Service specializes in the identification of materials on a topic.
The Search Service is a cost recovery service that provides more extensive searching of the technical
and scientific literature than can be provided by our basic
Reference Services.
Use the Search Service to:
- find a list of articles on a topic or by a specific author
- request hand searching of publications, directories, or documents for specific information
- other information searches. If in doubt about the possibility of a specific kind of search
call the search service and ask for an evaluation of your information need.
Examples of types of information that the search service has identified for patrons include:
- mechanical and physical properties of chemicals and materials
- historical uses of technical terms in relationship to intellectual property
- articles on specific ships, railroads, engineering companies, or products for historians, journalists, and attorneys
- historical articles on subways, sewers, bridges, and other public works as background for renovation projects
- information on the uses of chemicals, endangered species, and other environmental topics
- articles on the synthesis or manufacturing processes of specific chemicals
- current or archival specifications related to machinery and safety for engineers, consultants, and attorneys
You may order photocopies of articles cited in your search results via the Library's
Document Delivery Service.
If you have already identified specific articles that you would like to request, you can order directly from our
Document Delivery Service.
