Databases

Databases are a good a place to begin research. They may contain articles in journals, papers in conference proceedings, newspapers, chapters in books, reports and reviews.

IEEE Xplore 1988-
IEEE Xplore is a digital library providing full text access to documents from IEEE journals, transactions, magazines, letters, conference proceedings, IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) publications (from 1988), IEEE books (from 1974), and standards (from 1948).

Engineering Village 2 (EV2)
EV2 is an integrated search interface providing access to over 8 million abstracts from Compendex, Inspec & NTIS and other databases including patents and standards including Esp@cenet and USPTO, and the science-only search engine Scirus. It allows for combined searching of the Compendex, Inspec & NTIS databases on the broadest possible range of topics within the scientific, applied science, technical and engineering disciplines and includes journal articles, proceedings, unclassified government reports, and more. The databases are updated weekly.

Below are brief descriptions of three databases in EV2:

Compendex (1969-) has over 9 million records from over 5,000 journals, papers in conference proceedings, book chapters, technical papers, etc. Comprehensively represents all fields of engineering with coverage of over 175 disciplines and major specialties including related fields in science and management.
Inspec (1969-) is produced by the Institution of Electrical Engineers. It contains over eight million bibliographic records taken from 3,500 scientific and technical journals and 1,500 conference proceedings. Provides access to the world's scientific literature in electrical engineering, electronics, physics, control engineering, information technology, communications, computers, computing, and manufacturing and production engineering.
NTIS : National Technical Information Service (1899-), from the U.S. Department of Commerce, contains over 2 million records, including unclassified reports from influential U.S. and international government agencies such as NASA, the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Defense. Contents include research reports, computer products, software, video cassettes, audio cassettes and more
