- The following titles are a list of a selection of databases in science and technology which can be accessed by one of the library staff.
How to obtain articles
For those articles which are not linked to the full text or cannot be requested directly from the database in question, you will still have to do some traditional document retrival in the Library or on the Library's web site..
The recommended path to follow is:
- Check in CERN Document Server, or from the list of electronic journals, if the document is available online.
- If the document is not available online, but present as a hardcopy in the CERN Library
- Request the document via CERN Document Server, or
- Pass by the library to pick up the document or make a photocopy
- If the document is neither available online, nor available from the library, please ask for an interlibrary loan
- To access these resources from outside CERN, please follow the instructions
