Identifying Academic Physical Sciences Research in Progress

Abstract

The groundwork of a good research project always begins with a thorough literature search. When the scientist wants to replicate work, perhaps to compare results of conducting the same experiment on different materials, he or she turns to the library for journal articles on the subject. Librarians excel at producing lengthy subject searches through online search services. They can even produce the desired materials themselves, making good use of networking such as OCLC and RUN, and interlibrary loan, in addition to careful collection development in the library at hand.
