Leading researchers may know what's going to be published before it appears in a journal. But it's important to know how to access information in related disciplinary areas, and historical literature, especially before writing a grant proposal, research paper, or dissertation. You also need to know your options regarding copyright, and where to go for help. We'll also discuss the differences between Google, Google Scholar, and library-subscribed databases. Cornell Libraries - There are 20 libraries at Cornell, see library gateway (at www.library.cornell.edu)/individual libraries. With 7 million volumes and 26,000 electronic journals, Cornell is ranked among the top 10 research libraries in the country. Digital Collections - The Library has digital collections as well as print collections. See examples below.  | ArXiv.org - research papers in physics, computer science, mathematics, and other scientific communities. |  | eCommons is Cornell University's open access collection of scholarly information by faculty, staff, and students. See Cornell Engineering Quarterly and BEE 453 Computer Aided Engineering student projects. Consider as an archive for your papers. Consult Romeo guidelines on the Sherpa website for journals and publisher policies regarding copyright permissions. If you leave Cornell, OpenDOAR lists repositories world-wide and is subject-searchable.
|  | The Kinematic Models for Design Digital Library (K-MODDL) is a resource for learning and teaching the principles of kinematics. Includes moving mechanical models. |  | VIVO overcomes campus, college and department divides to provide an organized view of the life sciences at Cornell. VIVO has been extended to engineering, physical sciences, and mathematics as well. Find collaborators, advisors, research opportunities, subject experts, and facilities.

Information Competencies - Find the book by Zimmerman on microfluidics in the online catalog (http://catalog.library.cornell.edu). Display long view to see subject headings.
- Find the journal IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering in the online catalog and/or e-Journal Titles list (link from URL above). Drill down to an individual article.
Show the Google - Google Scholar - Find It - Databases by Discipline progression. - Determine which online database to use for a topic after consulting Databases by Discipline. Locate the full text of an article found from a technical database. Use an online database (such as Compendex) to find appropriate articles on a subject (microfluidics). Note how this differs from Find It on the Library Gateway.
- Locate a patent. Use Google Patents or MicroPatent Cornell inventors include Wilson Greatbatch, Willis Carrier, Robert Langer, and Leroy Grumman. For help patening an invention at Cornell, see Cornell Center for Technology, Enterprise, and Commercialization. Example: locate US patent 1859624. What did Ezra Cornell invent in 1844?
- Locate a standard. Use ILI Standards Database (ASTM E1733, ASTM SI 10)
- Locate a thesis. Use Proquest Digital Dissertations
- - Use RefWorks or Endnote to store, sort, and format your bibliographic citations. http://refworks.cornell.edu
