A note for instructors:
I am available to give your class an instructional session on searching engineering literature, or, more generally, information literacy.
Please contact me for more information.
Key Databases
- Web of Science (ON CAMPUS)A major comprehensive science and engineering search tool, containing citations for journal articles and conference proceedings, books, and more.
- Web of Science (OFF CAMPUS) Use this link whenever accessing Web of Science from off of the University of Regina campus!
- Knovel LibraryKnovel provides leading science and engineering books and databases embedded with productivity tools in one online service.
- IEEE Xplore Journals, conference papers, technical standards, books, and educational courses in the fields of electrical engineering, computer science, and electronics.
- engrXiv (Engineering Archive) Open e-print server for engineering articles (includes non-peer reviewed preprints). There is a blog about engrXiv: http://blog.engrxiv.org/.
- Google Scholar Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations.
Navigating this Research Guide
Use the tabs at the top of this Research Guide to find the specific resources or type of information you are looking for.
- The Finding Articles page links databases and search tools to find journal articles, reports, and other relevant materials published online. These links are divided by research area:
- Chemical and Environmental Engineering;
- Electrical, Computing, and Software Systems Engineering;
- and Petroleum Engineering.
