Databases provide subject access to journal articles, papers, reports and other publications. You can use OneSearch, but you can save time and get more targeted search results with specialized, subject focused databases such as those listed here:
Compendex (Engineering Village)
From Engineering Information. Indexes over 2600 journals published worldwide in all engineering disciplines and the applied sciences. Compendex also covers conference papers, reports, and publications of engineering societies.
ASTM Compass
All current ASTM standards, plus journals, books, manuals, and symposia.
IEEE Xplore
Use this database if your research or project has anything to do with electronics or computing.
Web of Science
Provides seamless access to Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Science Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index. Over 10,000 journals are indexed in this multidisciplinary database. 1991 to present.
IMPORTANT! OneSearch does NOT search Compendex, our primary engineering database, and it does not search the full text of other important engineering resources such as IEEE Xplore or Knovel.
Many Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering topics are also discussed in business journals. You will also use business and trade publications when you need information about companies and industries. A few of the most useful business databases:
