National Technical Reports Library V3.0 [electronic resource]
Springfield, Va. : U.S. Dept. of Commerce, National Technical Information Service,

Containing over 2.0 million bibliographic records, the NTRL Database is the preeminent resource for accessing the latest research sponsored by the United States and select foreign governments.Contents include research reports, computer products, software, video cassettes, audio cassettes and more. The complete electronic file dates back to 1964. Access via NTRL (National Technical Reports Library) also includes full-text access to more than 500,000 documents.

Web of science [electronic resource].
Philadelphia, PA : Institute for Scientific Information, c1998-

Provides for forward or backward cited searching. With a recent article, you typically use the bibliography to go back in time. In a way, the citation index lets you do the reverse. You can take an older article and see who has cited that article since it was published.
