Paul's Spotify PlaylistThe Civil Engineering Research Guide has a more complete list of databases for civil engineering research. Here are the most important:
OneSearch is the Library's all purpose search interface. OneSearch brings in search results (books, articles, more) from the Library Catalog and most of our databases. OneSearch is still under development and has some quirks. Take a look at our OneSearch FAQ to learn more.
IMPORTANT! OneSearch does not actually search everything. 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.
Go ahead and try OneSearch, but for most of your engineering research you will have better results if you use one of the databases recommended for your major. Look for the Databases link in the Featured Links area of the Library homepage.
If you can't find what you need in the databases listed on this page, try Google Scholar. It searches a vast range of journals and other academic resources.
When using Google Scholar you can tell it you're affiliated with the Cal Poly Pomona Library. That way you can easily link to articles and other documents that are part of our collection. Click the Settings icon at the top of the screen. Select Library Links, type the name of your library, check it, click SAVE.
In your Google Scholar search results look for FIND IT CAL POLY POMONA.
