Engineering reference sources including dictionaries, encyclopedias, and handbooks are located in the reference collection in the “T” call numbers. Aerospace will find the “TL” call number to be of particular interest. Some of the most commonly used items like the ASTM Standards and the ASM Handbooks are kept at Index Table 3. Other call number areas of interest in the reference collection are “QA” (Math and Computer Science), “QC” (Physics), and “QD” (Chemistry).AIAA Online Technical Papers Provides full-text of AIAA meeting papers and most AIAA journals from 1996 to the present. AIAA provides a limited search interface. Use the Aerospace Database for full indexing of AIAA papers. The library's collection of AIAA papers is available in the Reserve Area on the first floor of the Ablah Library for the years 1971 to the present (Microfiche 2436). They are arranged by paper number with the first two digits being the year of publication. The microfiche collection is complete from 1986 to 2003. Selected papers are available for 1971-1985.
Aerospace Database Aerospace Database provides bibliographic coverage of basic and applied research in aeronautics, astronautics, and space sciences. The database also covers technology development and applications in complimentary and supporting fields such as chemistry, geosciences, physics, communications, and electronics. In addition to periodic literature, the database also includes coverage of reports issued by NASA, other U.S. government agencies, international institutions, universities, and private firms.
Compendex/INSPEC through Engineering Village Compendax and INSPEC are two of the best indexes to engineering literature. They are searched simultaneously through the Engineering Village interface. Compendex indexes includes millions of bibliographic citations and abstracts from thousands of engineering journals and conference proceedings from all areas of engineering and technology. INSPEC focuses on physics, electrical engineering, and computer science but indexes literature from all technical fields.
NTIS The NTIS Database produced by the National Technical Information Service, is the preeminent resource for accessing the latest U.S. government-sponsored research and worldwide scientific, technical, engineering, and business-related information. NTIS is the central source for the sale of unclassified and publicly available information from research reports, journal articles, data files, computer programs and audio visual products from Federal sources.
AIAA The official web site of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the main professional organization for aerospace engineers.
NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) The NTRS is a valuable resource for students, educators, researchers, and the public for access to NASA's current and historical technical literature since it was first released in 1994. NTRS provides access to approximately 500,000 aerospace related citations, 90,000 full-text online documents, and 111,000 images and videos. NTRS numbers continues to grow over time as new scientific and technical information (STI) is created or funded by NASA. The type of information found in NTRS include: conference papers, images, journal articles, photos, meeting papers, movies, patents, research reports, and technical videos.
Intuit: Science, Engineering and Technology Intute: Science, Engineering and Technology (formerly known as EEVL) is a free online service providing you with access to the very best Web resources for education and research, evaluated and selected by a network of subject specialists. It covers the physical sciences, engineering, computing, geography, mathematics and environmental science. The database currently contains 34957 records.
TechXtra Find articles, key websites, books, the latest industry news, job announcements, ejournals, eprints, technical reports, the latest research, thesis & dissertations and more! Many of the things you’ll find through TechXtra come from the ‘Hidden Web’, and are not indexed by Google.
eiNET.net eiNET.net utilizes a team of skilled Internet Librarians to scour the Web, locating and categorizing quality content for placement in their applicable categories, resulting in a large breadth of topics and an impressive depth of content within the directory. Employing this process, eiNET.net has grown to one of the Web's largest directories, containing nearly 2,000,000 listings across nearly 700,000 categories.
