Physics

A guide to searching and accessing physics materials through Ingram Library

Databases

For most lower level, non-professional research, a general database will cover most of what you need, including the basics of a topic and the latest developments.

  • Academic Search Complete
    • Includes major news carriers (ie: New York Times), popular science magazines (ie: Science, Nature, Discover, Scientific American, Popular Science), and more.

For more scholarly, upper level research, you will want to use our subject specific databases.  Try searching in a database that covers only the fields you're interested in.  Many physics-related databases can be found in the following section.

Please use the Journal Locator to see if your article is available.  Any article not immediately available can be requested via ILLIAD.

Finding a specific journal

You can always ask a Librarian for help using the library to get any specific resource (article, ebook, dissertation, etc). Check the left side menu of this page for ways to Get Help!
