Databases for Electrical & Electronic Engineering

These commercial lists of articles from journals, papers given at conferences, chapters in books, patents, research reports and theses, are available to staff and students, through links from the Library's Catalogue, where the Library pays a subscription to the publisher.
You will be asked to authenticate your status as a member of the University with your acount name and password.
