Search help for articles
How to quickly find the full text of a journal article:
- If you find a reference to an interesting article in a bibliographic database or a different information retrieval system, you will often find as well a link to the full article in pdf provided by the publisher.
- You can look up the article straightaway in LibrarySearch. If it is in the TU/e collection you find a direct link to the full text.
- If you can't find a link to full text via a direct link to the publisher, then Google Scholar may still offer an alternative.
If all this is not the case you can file a request to have the book or article sent over from outside TU/e. However, a fee is charged for this service. To find out more go to Requesting publications from elsewhere.
Publications from TU/e itself you can best look up in the TU/e Repository.
Further service:
- DOI when bibliographic data are known
When you have a *)bibliographic reference of an article, and you wish to know if article is available in full text, fill out data in CrossRef search screen. You will obtain DOI number (Digital Object Identification) of requested article
*) Bibliographic reference = data like author, title, year of publication etc. ISBN and ISSN numbers are not recommended as search keys, as these do not yet yield good results. - Find article when you have DOI
To find full text of article when you know DOI, enter DOI in search window on page http://dx.doi.org/

Search help for patents
Patents constitute an important information resource for scientific research. Checking whether patent information on a subject to be researched is available is therefore strongly recommended.
