Acceptable Use Policy

Most Civil Engineering reference sources and books are available at the Engineering Library. However, the Architecture Library at 117 Bond Hall houses important materials as well. The library collection supports research in the areas of civil engineering, environmental engineering, and environmental geosciences and consists of print and online journals, reference books and the databases that are important for research in these areas. The Engineering Library is located at 149 Fitzpatrick Hall.

• Web of science

  
  

  Coverage:

  1900-
  "... accesses multidisciplinary databases of bibliographic information gathered from thousands of scholarly journals. The databases are indexed so you can search for specific articles by subject, author, journal, and/or author address. Because the information stored about each article includes the article's cited reference list (often called its bibliography), you can also search the databases for articles that cite a known author or work."--Tutorial screen.More about Web of Science
