Key Databases for Physics articles & conference proceedings

arXiv.org
Collection of pre-print articles in physics, mathematics, statistics and computer science.
INSPIRE - HEP database
Provides more than 500,000 high-energy physics related articles, including journal papers, preprints, e-prints, technical reports, conference papers and theses, comprehensively indexed since 1974. Originally SPIRES.

CERN, DESY, Fermilab and SLAC have built the next-generation High Energy Physics (HEP) information system, INSPIRE. It combines the successful SPIRES database content, curated at DESY, Fermilab and SLAC, with the Invenio digital library technology developed at CERN. INSPIRE is run by a collaboration of the four labs, and interacts closely with HEP publishers, arXiv.org, NASA-ADS, PDG, HEPDATA and other information resources.
INSPEC - part of Engineering Village
Extensive database of scholarly, trade and government publications in electronics, computer science, physics, electrical, and mechanical engineering. Includes Axiom, Compendex, INSPEC, Engineering Index, and CRC Press Handbooks.
Web of Science
Comprehensive multidisciplinary database across all scientific and mathematical fields. Includes unique citation analysis feature.
Scopus
Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database, including peer-reviewed titles from international publishers, Open Access journals, conference proceedings, trade publications, and quality web sources.
Physical review online archive (PROLA)
American Physical Society's online archive for Physical Review Letters, Reviews of Modern Physics, and Physical Review A–E. It contains all APS journal articles published from 1893–2009
CERN document server
A source for particle physics and related areas, this site includes the bibliographic records and full-text of preprints, articles, books, journals, photographs, and much more
