• ADS Astrophysics Data Systems
  Index to the astronomical literature from the 1800's to the present. Includes scanned backfiles of selected journals and observatory publications. Covers Astronomy and Astrophysics, Instrumentation, Physics and Geophysics. Some conference proceedings, NASA reports, theses, books and the full text of ejournals to which we subscribe. Provides access or pointers to astronomical data catalogs and archives from NASA.

ADS Searching Tips:

• Use Middle Initial Search to catch variant forms of author name
• Look for E, F, or G symbols to link to full text or scanned backfiles
• Nature ( London) 1997 - is available electronically at UT, but ADS e-links are sporadic
• Science (Washington) 1880 - is available electronically at UT, ADS e-links are sporadic
• Use Browse Library - Article Service to go directly to an article with a known citation
• Use the UT Library ADS link when you are off-campus
• myADS: provides a personalized notification service.
