Literature Search

We have a nice search function for group publications on the Bowers Group main page.

The UCSB Library is also a useful resource. You can find past dissertations, and databases and even use the proxy site to access journals off campus. Alternatively, off campus access of online journals can also be achieved by establishing a VPN connection to the campus network (install required).

Also, you may find it useful to organize your research papers with a software like Mendeley
