Journal Articles and Reports
This is a list of no-cost sources that list or index journal articles or
reports. At these sites you'll find journal articles, scientific and technical
reports, conference papers, fact sheets, news transcripts, preprints, and
dissertations. Some provide access to the full texts of articles and reports.
Employees of the U.S. Department of the Interior are reminded they may
also search for journal articles by using Academic
OneFile, EBSCO Online, JSTOR Life Sciences Collection, Science
Direct, or the Science and Technology Collection. Many employees may
search these databases at their desks, while others must come to the Library or contact a Reference Librarian for
assistance.
