 *'''Science Citation Index/Web of Science'''.  This database is available online from 1994-present through the library web site (under shortcuts or databases by title).  The SCI can be used to search for authors or topics (similar to BIOSIS previews).  It can also be used to search for papers that have cited a relevant paper or author.  This feature is particularly useful if you have discovered a key older paper on your chosen topic.  Just as the Literature Cited section of a paper allows you to search backward in time, this SCI feature allows you to search forward in time.  Another useful feature of the SCI is that you can limit the search to particular kinds of documents, such as review papers.  This is useful when you are looking for more general papers to help with topic selection.
