New Welch Library Database

The Welch Library has added a new database to its list of electronic resources. Scopus is a unique navigational product from Elsevier covering all sciences. In addition to being the world's biggest abstract database covering 25 million abstracts from over 14,000 titles across 4,000 publishers, Scopus offers powerful, innovative searching and browsing tools. Scopus brings efficiency and speed to the literature review process for researchers and students through linking citing and cited documents forward and backward in time. Users can access full texts of articles quickly and simply.

With its global selection of high-quality titles stretching back to 1966 and including cited references from 1996 onward, Scopus enables users to access more European and Asia Pacific literature than is covered in any other single database.

Scopus can be found among the other licensed Welch Library databases from its electronic resources list at: www.welch.jhu.edu/gateway/index.cfm.
