Call Numbers for Browsing in Library Stacks

Most of the Science and Engineering Libraries shelve books using the Library of Congress Classification system and shelve journals or periodicals alphabetically by the title of the journal. The Branner Earth Sciences Library shelves all materials by call number and uses both the Library of Congress and Dewey Decimal Classification systems.

Databases

Engineering Village is an information discovery platform that includes access to two databases at Stanford. Compendex (Computerized Engineering Index) is the most comprehensive bibliographic database of scientific and technical engineering research available, covering all engineering disciplines. It includes millions of bibliographic citations and abstracts from thousands of engineering journals and conference proceedings. When combined with the Engineering Index Backfile (1884-1969), Compendex covers well over 120 years of core engineering literature.

Search over 12,000 core journals across the sciences, social sciences, and arts and humanities to find the high quality research. Move backward/forward in time using cited/citing reference identified by researchers. Updated weekly, includes Science Citation Index Expanded (1899-present), Social Sciences Citation Index (1898-present), Arts & Humanities Citation Index (1975-present), Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Science (1990-present), Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Social Science & Humanities (1990-present), Book Citation Index (2005-present), Index Chemicus (1993-present), and Current Chemical Reactions (1985-present; also includes Institut National de la Propriete Industrielle structure data back to 1840)). (Structure searching)

Indexes the world's zoological and animal science literature, covering all research from biochemistry to veterinary medicine. The database provides a collection of references from over 4,500 international serial publications, plus books, meetings, reviews and other no- serial literature from over 100 countries. It is the oldest continuing database of animal biology, indexing literature published from 1864 to the present. Zoological Record has long been recognized as the "unofficial register" for taxonomy and systematics, but other topics in animal biology are also covered.

Search Tips

Web of Science

For finding journal articles, use the Web of Science first.

Search terms could be: (Digestive system* OR digestion) AND (common name OR scientific name OR family name if you want to do a broader search)

Here's some quick tips for finding important/relevant articles:

limit search terms to the title field, find review papers
use Refine by Document Type option on left side and choose "Review"
sort answers by "most cited" to see papers that have been referenced the most (use pull down on right side)
analyze results to see which authors are publishing the most on a topic (Analyze button at lower left side)

When you have a key article on a topic, it is a great way to identify additional materials by viewing cited and citing references. For example, locate Penry and Jumars article in Web of Science, view citing items. These citing items can then be refined (e.g. find review papers) or analyzed (e.g. by Subject or Source Title) to focus on particular areas of interest. Here's an initial search strategy and citation for the Penry and Jumars article.

   Topic=(modeling animal guts) AND Author=(Penry AND Jumars)

   Title: MODELING ANIMAL GUTS AS CHEMICAL REACTORS
   Author(s): PENRY DL, JUMARS PA
   Source: AMERICAN NATURALIST   Volume: 129   Issue: 1   Pages: 69-96   Published: JAN 1987
   Times Cited: 231

Biosis Citation Index

Michael Newman, Falconer Biology Librarian, noted: "It is easy to find articles on physiology of digestive enzymes in a particular organism. One way to do this is to use the Concept Codes:

drosophila AND 10808 (Concept Code for Physiological Studies of Enzymes) AND 14004 (Concept Code for Physiology and Biochemistry of Digestion)

Possibly by combining this with the word kinetics, one could find articles on rates of reactions in digestion."

Zoological Record

Zoological Record is another resource that might contain citations about the digestive system of an animal.

Engineering Village (EV)

EV covers more chemical engineering sources than the Web of Science. Use EV to locate articles on bioreactors, chemical engineering reactions, etc.

xSearch

xSearch allows you to search multiple resources at one time. There are 250+ resources in xSearch. They include databases, the full-text of ebooks and ejournals, data sets, images, streaming media, plus much more.

Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

Encyclopedias

"Comprehensive Biological Catalysis: A Mechanistic Reference offers a comprehensive review of enzyme catalysis from a chemical perspective. This multi-volume work thoroughly covers background chemistry. The first volume concentrates on reactions of electrophilic carbon, phosphorous and sulfur. Volume Two provides reactions of nucleophilic/carbanoid carbon. Volume Three highlights radical reactions and oxidation/reduction. The final volume, or the chemical lexicon, consists of clear explanations of alphabetically-arranged specialized terms and concepts. A team of highly regarded authors and editors were gathered together to contribute to a clear and consistent coverage of enzyme catalysis."

Spanning the entire spectrum of the life sciences, ELS is a monthly-updating reference work containing over 4,500 specially commissioned and peer-reviewed articles written by leaders in the field. ELS has articles on these subject areas: Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Ecology, Evolution and Diversity of Life, Genetics and Disease, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Immunology, Microbiology, Neuroscience, Plant Science, Science and Society, Structural Biology, and Virology.

Handbooks

This handbook shows you how to control chemical processes to yield desired effects efficiently and economically. It examines each of the major chemical processes, such as reactions, separations, mixing, heating, cooling, pressure change, and particle size reduction and enlargement – in logically arranged alphabetical chapters, providing you with an understanding of the essential qualitative analysis of each. The Handbook: Emphasizes chemical conversions – chemical reactions applied to industrial processing, Provides easy-to-understand descriptions to explain reactor type and design, Describes the latest process developments and possible future improvements or changes.

Heterogeneous catalysis; v. 3. Biocatalysis [Set II: Green solvents] v. 4. Supercritical solvents; v. 5. Reactions in water; v. 6. Ionic liquids [Set III: Green processes] v. 7. Green synthesis; v. 8. Bioinspired processes; v. 9. Designing safer chemicals [Set IV: Green products] v. 10. Green engineering; v. 11. Green nanoscience; v. 12. Sustainable product design.

Springer Handbook of Enzymes provides data on enzymes sufficiently well characterized. It offers concise and complete descriptions of some 5,000 enzymes are well characterized as well as their application in analytical, synthetic and biotechnology processes, in food industry, and for medicinal treatments. Data sheets are arranged in their EC-Number sequence and the volumes themselves are arranged according to enzyme classes. This series provides much detail on each enzyme, including specific activity and Km values. References are provided for all data, and human and non-human species are covered, but it would be very difficult to find data for a specific species.
