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.

covers over 3000 books which include reference works, monograph series
and handbooks. Some journals like Lancet goes as far back as 1823.
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.
