Databases and Finding Literature

The goal of every engineer, including yourself, is to continue the engineering design process by building upon, improving, and refining the models and designs of your peers! In order to find the literature of your peers, we first need to search for it! Use the databases below to start looking for that research!

Remember: If you get stuck, please reach out to your friendly neighborhood librarian for help! :)

QuickSearch

QuickSearch is the library's tool that searches almost all of our databases. It's a great tool for discovering and finding books, newspapers, articles, etc. One issue with QuickSearch is it can become difficult to find articles among the thousands of results. As librarians, we always recommend students to search individual, subject-specific databases to combat this issue. With our new QuickSearch interface, you can now limit by individual database within QuickSearch. Under "All filters", select "Content provider". The individual databases will be listed under this limiter. From here, you can limit to only the recommended engineering databases (like the ones above) such as IEEE Xplore. You can try a search below!
