Energy-related research including technical reports, journal articles, conference papers, books, multimedia, software, and data. Coverage 1940s-present.
INIS Database This link opens in a new window
Access to INIS (International Nuclear Information System) citations, abstracts, and some full-text, concerning the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology.
Google Scholar This link opens in a new window
An index of scholarly articles and books. Look for the Find@UNM link to access the full-text articles in University Libraries subscription databases. For books check the library catalog.
Google Scholar will link to some--not all--of the online resources to which the University Libraries subscribes. Use the "Check full text @ UNM" link to see if the resource is available through a UNM subscription. It may also be helpful to look up the journal or citation through UNM eJournals tool.
