Acceptable Use Policy

Are you looking for Engineering information that is available via the University Libraries? This page provides a general starting point for research. There are different forms and types available for reference materials, books, journals, and data in the subject area of Engineering. Use this page for general topics but be aware that there may be more specific information on the pages that are devoted to particular areas of engineering including: aerospace, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, materials science and mechanical. Geology has a page as well. The Engineering Library, located on the first floor of Fitzpatrick Hall, is the place where many of these materials are available. There you will also find subject specialists who can work with you more personally.

• Compendex

  
  

  Coverage:

  1884-
  Provides access to bibliographic databases of engineering research literature, including Compendex (citations and abstracts to 5000+ engineering journals, conferences and technical reports), as well as to patents, standards and handbooks. Also includes Engineering Index Backfile covering information from the printed Engineering Index for the period 1884-1969. Overall coverage: 1884 to present.

• CRC handbook of chemistry and physics

  
  

  Coverage:

  80th ed.(1999/2000)
  Contains frequently used data in chemistry and physics (basic constants, units, and conversion factors; symbols, terminology, and nomenclature; physical constants of organic compounds; properties of the elements and inorganic compounds; information on molecular structure; etc.) Usage info: Licensed for one concurrent user.

• PapersFirst

  
  

  Coverage:

  1993-
  Provides citations and indexing to papers presented at conferences worldwide, as received by the British Library Document Supply Centre since 1993.

• United States Patent and Trademark Office

  
  
  Access to issued patents' full-text (since 1976) and full-page image (since 1790) databases.

• 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
