Databases

Databases are a good a place to begin research. They may contain articles in journals, papers in conference proceedings, newspapers, chapters in books, reports and reviews.

Engineering Village 2 (EV 2)
Engineering Village 2 (EV2) is the most comprehensive interdisciplinary Engineering database. Databases available are Chimica, Chemical Business NewsBase (CBNB), Compendex, Inspec, National Technical Information Service (NTIS), etc. It has over 16 million records, some of which have links to full text. EV2 covers journals, conference proceedings, unclassified government reports, and more.

ENGnetBASE : Engineering Handbooks Online
ENGnetBASE is one of the most important Engineering handbook databases in CRCnetBASE. It contains a compilation of essential Engineering information, including data, facts, figures, graphs, equations, illustrations and charts. This database covers handbooks for all disciplines of Engineering, incorporating the subdivisions namely CivilENGINEERINGnetBASE, ElectricalENGINEERINGnetBASE, MechanicalENGINEERINGnetBASE and TELECOMMUNICATIONnetBASE.

IEEE Xplore
IEEE Xplore provides full text access to quality technical literature in the discipline of electrical engineering, computer science and electronics.

SciFinder Scholar (SFS)
SciFinder Scholar (SFS) is a research discovery tool that allows students and faculty to access journal articles, books, theses, conference proceedings and patent documents in many scientific disciplines, including biomedical sciences, chemistry, engineering, materials science, agricultural science, and more from 1907 to the present. It provides search interface for access to Chemical Abstracts online. Chemical Abstracts covers the published scientific research in chemistry, and offers searching by author name, research topic, substance identifier, chemical structure, or chemical reaction. Now includes the Substructure Module (SSM). It also provides full-text documents and links to electronic patent documents from the USPTO, esp@cenet, and MicroPatent®.

Library’s take: SciFinder Scholar includes the abstracts for articles in more than 10,000 journals, chiefly in chemistry. It is useful for materials research and for energy research. Coverage goes back to the beginning of the 20th century. (1 seat limit)

Scopus
Has 37 million records from over 16000 journals, including trade journals. Covers life sciences, physical sciences, health sciences, social sciences and business. Indexes journals, conference proceedings, and quality web sources. Some records have links to full text. It does citation tracking. A researcher can find out how many times a particular article has been cited.
