Databases -- These are created to help identify articles from journals and presentations from conferences that might be of interest. Their coverage is often an improvement over Google or Google Scholar, in both breadth and depth.They allow iteration and modification of searches and use a controlled vocabulary; it's often easier to get to the full text of materials through the databases.
- SciFinder-n This link opens in a new windowCovers: 1907-. SciFinder is an easy-to-use interface to Chemical Abstracts and related databases, including: the CAS Registry of chemicals, reactions data, sources for chemical purchasing, and the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE database. Individual registration required.
- Compendex This link opens in a new windowCovers: 1884-. Indexes journal and trade magazine articles, conference proceedings, and selected technical reports and books in all engineering disciplines as well as related fields in the sciences and management. On the Engineering Village platform.
- INSPEC This link opens in a new windowCovers: 1898-. A comprehensive index to the global journal and proceedings literature in physics, electrical/electronic engineering, computing, control engineering, mechanical engineering, production and manufacturing engineering, and information technology.
- ProQuest Agricultural & Environmental Science Collection This link opens in a new window
- Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology This link opens in a new windowPresents "facts on the properties, manufacturing, and uses of chemicals and materials, processes, and engineering principles, coupled with insights into current research, emerging technologies and economic aspects. Environmental and health concerns are also addressed."
Unique databases with technical information and standards.
