Indexes and databases for Petroleuml Engineering and Management
Databases for Petroleum Engineering and
Management
These commercial lists of articles
from
journals, papers given at conferences, research reports and chapters
from
books 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 account name and
password.
To find journal articles on a topic use
one or more of the databases listed below.
Remember
- these indexes are international in coverage; the Barr Smith Library
does
not have access to all of the articles listed. If you need an
item that we don't have, use our Document Delivery service.
Searching
Use the same search
strategy as for the
Library Catalogue when you
search by Keyword (use and, or, not, " ") You can develop your
search
strategy in the Library Catalogue [Searching by: Keyword (use
and, or, not, " ") and copy and paste into the search
bar of each of the databases.
