ENGINEERING
A SELECTIVE GUIDE TO LIBRARY RESOURCES

This selective guide contains a bibliography of titles and electronic resources that will assist members of the Aggie community with research in all disciplines of Engineering.  It outlines a general approach to finding not only materials and resources housed in the F.D. Bluford Library but also electronic sources that available through F.D. Bluford Library’s web pages. Other research oriented Internet sites are also suggested.  This guide will help students organize their research and at the same time give them some tips on research strategy. Remember that researching any topic can seem overwhelming.  Questions regarding this list (or any research question) should be directed to the F. D. Bluford Library Reference Desk.

Table of Contents:



Using the Catalog:

Establishing what books the library owns on your subject should be your top priority.  The Catalog identifies all the books, videos, journals, microforms, and other formats owned by the Library.  The Catalog can be searched by Author, Title, Keywords, Subject Headings, LC Call Number, Professor, or Course Name.  Use the “Keywords” search option if you know neither specific books nor standardized subject headings.  These subject headings are accessible through five volumes of Library of Congress Subject Headings located near the workstations on the first floor of the Library. 

Research Strategy Hint:  Use the * (asterisk) or the "OR" operator to expand a small set to a larger set.  Strategic use of the “Limit this Search” command and the "AND" operator can narrow down an overwhelming list to a manageable size.

Encyclopedias:

Great places to start are encyclopedias, especially if you are unfamiliar with your topic.  Recognized authorities in the field write these articles.  These review articles provide background information on the history, basic tenants, important persons, and other established facts or ideas significant to the topic.  Most articles also provide an extensive bibliography of sources with more in-depth analysis of your topic. 

 

Research Strategy Hint:  When using encyclopedias, first consult the index volume, usually the last volume of the set, or table of contents for your topic.  These will indicate if your topic is featured article or only a portion of a larger article.

Dictionaries:

Dictionaries provide brief entries that are quick and helpful sources for the definition or identification of a term, movement, or person in history.  A Thesaurus can direct you to the terms used in a Print Index or Database.  As terminology changes over the life of a research topic, you must know all the words associated with a given topic.

Indexes, Abstracts, and Databases:

Books, handbooks, and encyclopedias do not contain the most recent research on your topic.  For this current research, you should consider using the print and/or electronic indexes to find journal articles or conference papers discussing your topic.  You may need to consult more than one index and more than one format to obtain a comprehensive working bibliography.  Databases permit more comprehensive searching for citations. 

 

Research Strategy Hint:  Searching is faster and more precise if you take advantage of “Boolean Logic” (AND, OR, NOT, etc.) and controlled vocabulary.  Keyword searching should be used for current or "new" research topics.  Once an "excellent" article is discovered, scan the Subject Headings (also called Descriptors) and search again using those terms.  Online help is available for learning advanced searching techniques.

Print Indexes:

Access is gained to citations through author, subject, or keyword-in context (KWIC) indexes in annual cumulations.  Some indexes have controlled vocabulary described in accompanying thesauri while some indexes use unique classification codes or schemes.  Journal title abbreviations are explained at the front and/or back of the Index.

Bibliographic and Full-Text Databases:

Bibliographic resources contain bibliographic citations and abstracts of specific articles, documents, reports, papers or proceedings.  The Catalog or the Electronic Journals resource must be consulted for library holdings or accessibility.  Interlibrary loan is available to graduate students and faculty for items not owned.

Full-text resources contain the bibliographic citations AND the entire text of specified articles, documents, reports, papers or proceedings.  The Catalog need not be consulted for library holdings.  Most databases offer the option of downloading, printing, or e-mailing citations and/or articles.  Ask at the Reference Desk for assistance.

Technical Reports:

Technical Reports are a form of "Grey Literature." They are not intended to be part of the permanent literature.  Those who prepare technical reports must report the results of research sponsored by the government. These cannot be classified as government documents because they are not produced directly by a government agency, but by individuals in the agency or laboratory.  They can also be a separate type of publication, like ERIC or NASA documents.  Technical reports are indexed by the National Technical Information Service (NTIS).  The following print publications, databases, and Internet sites index technical reports:

DOE Information Bridge.  http://www.osti.gov/bridge/

Energy Citations Database (1948 – Present).  http://www.osti.gov/energycitations/

Standards and Specifications:

Standards are rules, techniques, and/or conditions which must be followed for industrial practices, engineering design, terminology, etc.  These may be voluntary or imposed by a country or international organization.  Standards ensure cooperation and communication among researchers and engineers.  Standards also ensure consistency and uniformity during production of goods and services.

Patents:

Patents are contracts between governments and inventors.  They are only honored in the country in which they are issued.  Knowledge of existing or pending patents can save a researcher time, effort, and/or legal trouble.  North Carolina State University has the closest Patent Depository Library.  The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Internet site offers the full text of over two million patents dating back to 1976.  Interlibrary Loan can obtain any patent.
