Scopus trial temporary unavailable

The Scopus trial is currently unavailable; the NASA Digital Library (NDL) is working with its partners to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Please contact the Library at 3-5761 if you require immediate assistance finding an item or have questions concerning the status of access to Scopus. Thank you for your patience.

Library product trial - try Scopus today!

Scopus, an abstract and citation database, is available via a three-month product trial provided by the NASA Digital Library (NDL). Scopus covers:

• Over 16,500 titles from more than 4,000 international publishers, including coverage of
  
  • 15,400 peer-reviewed journals (including approximately 1200 Open Access journals)
  • 575 trade publications
  • 315 book series
  • Extensive conference coverage (3.6 million conference papers)

Scopus also covers 433 million quality web sources, including 23 million patents. Web sources are searched via Scirus, and include author homepages, university sites and resources such as the preprint servers CogPrints and ArXiv.org, and OAI compliant resources. Topics covered include the physical sciences, as well as life and health sciences, and social sciences.
To access the product during the trial, visit http://www.scopus.com/home.url (NASA access only). For additional information, or help with any issues accessing Scopus during the trial period, please contact the Glenn Science & Engineering Library Science Librarian at 3-5778.

Introducting the NASA Digital Library

Visit the NASA Digital Library (NDL) to search and access electronic resources available at Glenn and across the Agency. The NDL website has several unique search features, such as the ability to perform a custom Google search of Glenn and Agency resources, including AIAA, NASA Technical Report Server (NTRS), American Chemical Society (ACS) publications, and more – all with one convenient search! You can also search e-journal subscriptions, e-books, articles, technical reports, images, and the Center catalogs at the NDL website.

See something at the NDL website that the Glenn Library doesn’t have on-hand? Full-text access to materials not part of a Glenn subscription may be limited, but through both the NDL and Glenn Science & Engineering Library (GSEL) websites GSEL patrons continue to have the ability to request materials (books, documents, etc.) or to obtain in-depth research assistance directly from the Glenn library. GSEL works with Agency and other libraries to obtain the materials and information that support the Glenn community's scientific and technical research needs.


About NDL
In 2007, an Agency-wide team led by NASA Langley conducted the NASA Library Transformation study. Its purpose was to expand the desktop access to digital content in support of technical excellence and ensure the efficient delivery of the core technical information and services to the technical community across the Agency. The study was sponsored by Tom Luedtke, Associate Administrator for Institutions and Management; Championed by Mike Ryschkewitsch, NASA Chief Engineer; Jonathan Pettus, NASA Chief Information Officer; Lesa Roe, NASA Langley Center Director; and Cathy Mangum, NASA Langley Chief Information Officer.

The NASA Library Transformation study recommendations were accepted by sponsors and champions, and suggestions were made by a user focus group so that NASA Libraries might better understand the information needs of the NASA technical community. Focus group input was used to formulate the recommendations and request a strategic infrastructure investment for NASA Digital Library. As a result of submitting this proposal in 2008, NASA Langley received $500,000 in funding from NASA Headquarters to start the development of the NASA Digital Library (NDL).

The Agency-wide NDL project team worked together to leverage the $500K and existing funding from the Centers in order to provide integrated and expanded access to electronic resources and services.

Looking for AIAA journals and papers?

You can now access the full text of ALL of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) journals and papers from 1963 to the present online! Access to all of these resources was funded by the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) at NASA Headquarters, and is a service of the NASA Digital Library (NDL). NDL is provided by the NASA Information Services Alliance (NISA), a consortium comprised of all NASA libraries whose mission is to provide seamless and comprehensive information services and tools required by all NASA employees, in support of NASA's mission and goals. NISA and NDL also provide research support to all NASA employees through the https://askalibrarian.nasa.gov/ service.

For access to all of these AIAA resources, visit the Glenn Science & Engineering Library website, go to the "Quick Links" on the left side of the page, and click on "AIAA Library" to begin searching for and viewing the full text of AIAA resources. If you have any questions, please contact the library at 3-5761.

Introducing Ask a Librarian @ NASA

The https://askalibrarian.nasa.gov/ service provides library research and reference support to NASA civil servants, contractors, and partners across the Agency. Request literature searches or ask for detailed research and reference support from GRC and other NASA reference librarians at https://askalibrarian.nasa.gov/. If you have questions please feel free to call Jaime Scibelli at 3-5778.
For material or item requests (specific books, documents, etc.) please call 3-5671 or visit the GRC Patron Request System.
The mission of Ask a Librarian (AAL) is to provide high-quality information to NASA. AAL is provided by NASA Digital Library and NASA Information Services Alliance (NISA).
