Web of Science

Web of Science is one of over 200 databases the library subscribes to. It is extremely powerful, and a terrific source for journal articles. If you are curious to learn about the research a faculty member has done, this is a good place to start. Say you'd like to read up a bit on the work of Rudy A. Marcus, the Arthur Amos Noyes Professor of Chemistry and the winner of the 1992 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. On the Web of Science search page, enter his name in a search box, and select "author." Then enter 91125, Caltech's zipcode, in another search box, and select "address." You should come up with 255 hits; if you don't, see your house librarian.
