If you use the Astrophysics Data System, it's important you adjust your preferences so that our library's subscriptions are accessible when you're searching in ADS. You can set this up when you're logged in to your ADS account. 

Under Account select Settings. Click on Library Link Server on the left side of the page. Use the drop down menu to select "California Institute of Technology" as your home institution. Once you've saved your settings, you'll  see  My Institution   links on abstract pages. This link will take you to our library's full text access to journal articles.
