Technology Research
Database
The Technology Research Database (TRD) is comprised of a number of
materials science and engineering databases (e.g., Ceramics Abstracts, Advanced
Polymers Abstracts, Composites Industry Abstracts, METADEX, etc.). Dates of
coverage vary for each database.
Compendex
Compendex is one of the most comprehensive bibliographic databases in
the field of engineering. The citations are drawn from over 2,600 journals,
conference proceedings, technical reports, and some books. Compendex is the
online equivalent of the print Engineering Index from 1980 to the present (see
below for additional coverage). Coverage from 1980 to Present.
Engineering Index Backfile(1884-1969)
Online equivalent to the Engineering Index from 1884-1969. Provides some of the
most comprehensive coverage of engineering for that time period. Includes
citations from journals, conference proceedings, technical reports, and some
books. Coverage from
1884 to 1969.
Scopus
Scopus provides multidisciplinary indexing of the science and engineering
literature. It is Elsevier's counterpart to ISI's Web of Science, providing the
same core functionality but indexing a wider variety of journals and
proceedings. Coverage generally from 1996 to present though some records date
as far back as the mid-1800s.
Inspec
One of the most comprehensive databases in the area of physics, electrical
engineering, and computer science. Indexes over 4,000 journals and 2,000
conferences proceedings, as well as some books. Coverage from 1969 to
present.
Inspec Archive(1898-1968)
One of the most comprehensive databases in the area of physics,
electrical engineering, and computer science. Coverage from 1898 to 1968.
SciFinder Scholar
SciFinder Scholar is the most comprehensive bibliographic database in the
field of chemistry. The database is essentially an online version of Chemical
Abstracts, but provides enhanced search capabilities (e.g., reaction searching)
and coverage now predates the 1907 commencement of Chemical Abstracts. The
database contains over 27 million citations primarily from journals, patents,
and conferences. While the focus of the database is chemistry, it is also a
valuable resource for certain areas of agriculture, biology, engineering,
geology, medicine, and physics. Coverage from mid-1800s to present.
Unlike most databases, client software will need to be downloaded onto your computer in order to access SciFinder Scholar. SciFinder Scholar is available on computers in the Wilson Library and most Computer Learning Centers (CLCs).
Dissertation Abstracts
Dissertation Abstracts contains references and abstracts for doctoral
dissertations from accredited American and
Canadian, selected British and European universities, covering all academic
subjects. Masters theses are also included
from accredited North American Universities. Coverage from 1861 (masters from
1988) to present.
PapersFirst
This database covers every published congress, symposium,
conference, exposition, workshop and meeting received
by the British Library. Coverage from 1993 to Present.
ASTM Standards
The IHS database provides full-text access to active ASTM standards
and citations for numerous other standards from
a variety of other organizations.

The Wilson Library subscribes to some journals
electronically, some in print, and some in both formats. To determine
if the library subscribes to a particular journal, one
must search the A-Z Electronic
Journal list and MERLIN online
catalog. Search MERLIN by first clicking "Journal
Title" and then entering the name of the journal (e.g., Journal of
the
American Ceramic Society). MERLIN will provide
information about a journal's availability in print and/or electronically.
The journal list below has links to a few full-text
electronic journals to help you get started. To perform a comprehensive
literature search, one needs to first one or more of
the databases listed above.
NOTE: Unless the journal is freely available or use the
A-Z Electronic Journal
list, you will need to be on-campus or
set-up VPN in order to
access electronic journals. VPN This includes the electronic journals linked
from MERLIN.
