Recommended Resources (All Resources: 32 databases | 3 e-journals )

• 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.

• 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
