arXiv is a highly-automated electronic archive and distribution server for research articles. Covered areas include physics (astrophysics, general relativity, high energy physics, space physics), mathematics, computer science, nonlinear sciences, quantitative biology and statistics. arXiv is maintained and operated by the Cornell University Library.
EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS)
EBSCO EDS is an online research tool that "pulls together" many external sources so that they can be explorer using a single search box . In other words, rather than searching several sources, you can do and EDS search and get a single list of results coming from various sources. In fact, you could think of EDS as the Library's version of Google.
EDS is available to all Library users on- and off-campus. Authentication with your ISU network ID will be required.

IOPscience is an online service to find articles for journal content and books published by IOP Publishing (Institute Of Physics). Subjects covered are: condensed matter, soft matter and materials science, atomic, molecular, optical and plasma physics, nuclear and high energy particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology and gravitation, mathematical, statistical and quantum physics, earth and environmental science.
The
National Space Science Data Center serves as the permanent archive for
NASA space science mission data. "Space science" means astronomy and
astrophysics, solar and space plasma physics, and planetary and lunar
science. As permanent archive, NSSDC teams with NASA's
discipline-specific space science "active archives" which provide access
to data to researchers and, in some cases, to the general public.

Contains
bibliographic citations and abstracts to the Optical Society
publishing, including journal articles, proceedings and books.
The Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a NASA-funded project whose main resource is an abstract service, which draws abstracts from a variety of national and international scientific sources. The abstracts are divided into four sets: astronomy and astrophysics, instrumentation, physics and geophysics, and the arXiv Preprints archive.
The
SPIE Digital Library is the most extensive resource available on optics
and photonics, providing unprecedented access to 300,000 technical
papers from SPIE Journals and Conference Proceedings from 1990 to the
present. Approximately 18,000 research papers are added each year. SPIE
eBooks includes over 130 monographs, reference books, tutorial texts,
and field guides.
Web Of Science is a citation index that provides a comprehensive citation search. It gives access to multiple databases that reference cross-disciplinary research, which allows for in-depth exploration of specialized sub-fields within an academic or scientific discipline.
