SciFinder Scholar - available on campus START > GSC > Library > SciFinder.  Wait for an install. You must agree:

I will use SciFinder Scholar only for my own academic research done in the course of pursuing my degree, or in instructing my students, or, in the course of my own research funded by the government or a non-profit foundation and intended for publication in the publicly available literature.

Science Direct - coming in July with full search mode, password limited print capability.  Faculty will be able to print, students will have to request access through ILL. There is an onehundred article print limit due to high cost and short-fall budget.

  • Journals consist mostly of articles written by scholars and researchers, reporting in detail on their original research, and "peer reviewed" by other experts before they’re published.  Most are published by professional or academic organizations, for specialists in that field.
  • Journals are published regularly, like magazines, but most magazine articles provide more basic information, and are written for average people (or maybe fans and hobbyists).
  •  

    Other

    You may have used other databases such as Geobase on other campuses in the University system.

    Gainesville State College provides access to Science Direct which is the master file of this Elsivere database and many others.

    Login to Science Direct.  Find your article.  Request the article to be sent to you.
