Need
to understand a
topic but
don't need the in-depth presentation of a textbook? Try a specialised handbook or encyclopaedia. These sources are intended for the professional engineer who needs a quick, reliable answer, but does not have a library of textbooks at hand. For specific lists go to | Biography | Civil engineering | Coastal engineering | Construction | Computer applications | Earthquake engineering | Environmental engineering | Geotechnical engineering | Management | Mathematics | Materials | Mining | Professional practice | Structural engineering | Transportation | Water Supply | Who wrote what, when, where? When you need to find articles or papers on a topic use an appropriate database or index to find out what has been written. Some databases will provide a link to the full text of an article; where this is not the case, check the Library Catalogue and see if we provide access to the source journal. For all topics in Civil and Environmental engineering start with Ei Compendex or CEDB (Civil Engineering DataBase from the ASCE) which each cover a wide range of subjects. For Australian issues in engineering see ENGINE: Australian Engineering Database from the IEAust Specialised databases from related subject areas may be useful including - Environmental issues ASFA1: Biological sciences and living resources ASFA3: Aquatic pollution and environmental quality BIOSIS Previews life sciences EVA: environmental abstracts (Australia) Geobase VPI&E Library catalogue Geotechnique AESIS Geobase Georef NISEE Materials Compendex SciFinder Regional Planning AVEry Index Geobase GEODOK: Virtual Geographic Library Database RIBA Library Online Structures ARCH AVEry Index BUILD NISEE: National Information Center for Earthquake Engineering RIBA Library Online Water Resources Water Resources Abstracts Streamline Management Business Source Complete Emerald Comment on current issues is often found in the broad, multidisiplinary databases such as Academic Search Premier Australia/New Zealand Reference Centre eLibrary Expanded Academic ASAP Citation searching Web of Science Computer Science and Mathematics ACM Digital Library MathSciNet Agriculture Agricola CAB abstracts For higher degree theses from other universities Index to theses Proquest dissertations and theses For Engineering ethics Wikipedia has a useful article on engineering ethics with links to the relevant sites of professional associations. |
