ScienceDirect--Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Engineering Collections

We are pleased to announce the addition of ScienceDirect to the database collections available for your research from the Cannon Memorial Library

The library's subscription provides access to journal articles in the life sciences, physical sciences, and engineering collections. Articles in the health sciences, social sciences, and humanities collections may appear in your results as "for purchase" options. Beware!

"Because we cannot eliminate the 'for purchase' articles popping up [when searching ScienceDirect], we’ve decided to disable the purchasing feature," advises Brent Short, Director of Library Services.

This precaution means no one will be able to enter credit card information when finding "for purchase" articles in the ScienceDirect journal collection on the Cannon Memorial Library website.

"We’re trying to be cautious here and prevent a patron from racking up some type of huge bill," added Mr. Short.

Remember to check the AtoZ Journal List for journal titles to which you have full-text access from Cannon Memorial Library. If none, simply use the Interlibrary Loan/Document Delivery service and complete the article request form.
