The Department of Science, Technology and Society also makes available an online database of 4th year theses written since the 2000/2001 academic year. You may search this online database here. Note that while this database includes information about a thesis that is not currently included in VIRGO, the database does not include the call number for theses shelved in the Brown Science and Engineering Library. You will need to consult VIRGO to obtain these call numbers. The STS database is particularly useful, however, for searching for the names of technical and STS faculty advisors.
Large general database of articles from scholarly journals and a few newspapers covering a wide range of topics. Millions of full-text articles, many with images. Also includes reference books such as the World Almanac, American Heritage Dictionary, biographies, speeches and other primary source documents, country reports, and several hundred thousand images of photos, maps, and flags.
Find journal articles and technical reports in aeronautics, astronautics, and space sciences. Both basic and applied research are covered along with technological developments in supporting research fields.
Search for publications on civil engineering and related fields, including forensic engineering, management and marketing of engineering services, engineering education, and theoretical mechanics and dynamics.
Compendex, known as Ei Compendex or Engineering Index, now part of Engineering Village, is a large interdisciplinary engineering database listing journal articles, technical reports and conferences, and adds over 220,000 new abstracts each year. Includes book reviews.
Provides a comprehensive monthly update on the latest theoretical research and practical applications in computer science from around the world. Includes both journal articles and conference proceedings.
Articles about computer-related product introductions, news, and reviews about hardware, software, electronics, engineering, and communications from 1994 on. Some full-text articles. Includes book reviews.
Full text (PDF for download) of most dissertations accepted from 1997 on, some earlier works and some master's theses. Also lists dissertations and theses accepted from 1861 on in the US and at some Canadian, British, and other European universities. Abstracts included after July, 1980.
The Internet Guide to Engineering, Mathematics and Computing (formerly the Edinburgh Engineering Virtual Library E-journal) Search Engine searches the full text of over seventy engineering e-journals. Broad range of information on all aspects of Engineering. Full text of articles found can be read online or printed.
Scientific and technical journals and conference proceedings in computing, electrical engineering, physics. Updated monthly.
The Inspec Archive Science Abstracts provides access to 71 years of science abstracts in the fields of physics, electrical engineering, and control technology. In addition to the abstracts, this database includes the accompanying tables, graphs and diagrams when available.
Search for publications of all kinds on mechanical and transportation engineering and related fields, including forensic engineering, management and marketing of engineering services, and theoretical mechanics and dynamics.
Surveys and summarizes the worldwide literature in mechanical engineering, engineering management, and production engineering, presenting theoretical perspectives as well as specific applications.
World's premiere database for biomedical and health-related topics, including biomedical engineering.
Comprehensive source for information on metals and alloys: their properties, manufacturing, applications, and development. To search METADEX with other, related indexes, use CSA Materials Research Database.
Provides access to Chemical Abstracts, including the CAplus database of chemical literature and U.S. and foreign chemical-related patents, CASREACT, and the Registry database. Click the above link for more information and instructions on downloading SciFinder Scholar.
Contains records of published transportation research including technical reports, books, conference proceedings and journal articles.
Includes Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index which can be searched together or separately. Lists articles from over 5,700 science and engineering journals, 1,700 social sciences journals, and 1,100 arts and humanities journals. Frequent updates make it a good source for very recent information. Journal Citation Reports (JCR) a tool for journal evaluation (Used to find impact factors for journals), using citation data taken from over 8,000 journals in the areas of science and technology is one of the components of this database.
