Google Scholar Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations.
Not all materials listed in Google Scholar are freely available, however,Google Scholar allows linking to the University of Regina Library subscriptions.
If you are on campus, Google Scholar recognizes your location and automatically shows you the link to the library materials: GetIt@UReginaLibrary.
If you are off campus you must add the University of Regina collection in your Google Scholar settings. For information on how this is done see the Instructions

NASA Technical Reports Server (at http://ntrs.nasa.gov/?method=aboutntrs) Publications from NASA, including lots of physics, geophysics, planetary physics, and astrophysics publications. Many documents are available freely online; others must be ordered through Interlibrary Loan. More information about NASA's publication program is available at http://www.sti.nasa.gov/.
