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.
Applied Science Full Text The Applied Science Full Text database provides an index to a core set of journals in the areas of applied science and technology back to 1983. Abstracts were are included for most records since 1993. Full-text is included for “select” journals from 1998.
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.Materials Science: A SAGE Full-Text Collection Includes the full text of 15 materials science journals published by SAGE and participating societies, some journals going back 42 years, encompassing over 14,200 articles. The searchable database consists of bibliographic records (indexed summaries or abstracts) as well as the complete text of each journal article. Every bibliographic record in the Collection links to the appropriate full text in PDF format.
Engineering reference sources including dictionaries, encyclopedias, and handbooks are located in the reference collection in the “T” call numbers. The “TJ” call numbers will be of particular interest to mechanical 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.
ASM Handbooks Online ASM Handbooks Online features the complete content of twenty-four ASM Handbook volumes plus two ASM Desk Editions.
ASME The official web portal of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
SAE International The official web page of the Society of Automotive Engineers
Matweb Commercial materials information. Includes basic materials properties.
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.
