Selected Databases

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.

IEEE Xplore         The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the largest publisher of scholarly engineering research in the world.  Even though they a professional organization for electrical engineering, they publish journals and conference reports that are of interest to every branch of engineering.  IEEE Xplore indexes the journals, conference reports, and standard published by IEEE.  Full-text of the journals published since 1998 is available through the database.

ACM Digital Library    Contains full-text access to materials published by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).  Along with the IEEE, ACM is one of the major publishers of scholarly research in computer science and computer engineering.

WSU Reference Sources

Engineering reference sources including dictionaries, encyclopedias, and handbooks are located in the reference collection in the “T” call numbers.  The TK” call numbers will be of particular interest to electrical and computer engineers.  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).

Knovel Library            This database combines authoritative reference content from major Sci-tech publishers. This data is enhanced with time-saving analytical tools to help analyze and manipulate the data.  It includes data in over 700 full-text engineering a scientific reference works, handbooks, and databases.  To avoid frustration search in “My Subscription” rather that the “Entire Knovel Library.”  This will limit the search to resources we have access to electronically.

Selected Web Pages

IEEE    The official web page of the IEEE.

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.
