Selective Guide to Library Resources in Engineering

Engineering Resources
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 may be accessed via the Internet or on CD-ROM. 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.

Using the INNOPAC:

Establishing what books the library owns on your subject should be your top priority. The INNOPAC catalog is the online public access catalog (OPAC) and identifies all the books, videos, journals, micrfoms, and other formats owned by the Library. This catalog can be accessed not only from the library, but also from any computer lab or from off campus through remote access. The INNOPAC 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. Use the * (asterisk) or the "OR" operator to expand a small set to a larger set. Strategic use of the Limit command and the "AND" operator can narrow down an overwhelming list to a manageable size.

Encyclopedias:

A great place to start are encyclopedias. 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. The articles also provide bibliographic references to sources with more in-depth analysis of your topic. Always consult the index or table of contents for your topic, as your topic may be a 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 Electronic 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. Searching is faster and more precise if you take advantage of Boolean logic and controlled vocabulary. Keyword searching should be used for "new" research topics. Once an "excellent" article is discovered, scan the subject headings 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.

Electronic Indexes:

Allow more comprehensive searching for citations. Searching is faster and more precise if you take advantage of Boolean logic and controlled vocabulary. Keyword searching should be used for "new" research topics. On-line help is available for learning advanced searching techniques.

CD-ROM Products:

The CD-ROMS are located in F. D. Bluford Library. You cannot access the CD-ROMs through a modem from home. If you want to search from outside F. D. Bluford Library, consider using NC LIVE and other databases available through INNOPAC or the Library's Web Page. http://www.library.ncat.edu/

The CD-ROMs are available on Stand-Alone workstations. Each research workstation is numbered. You must reserve time on a workstation by signing the clip-board at the Reference Desk. Workstations may be reserved for non-consecutive, 30 minute intervals. Ask for assistance at the Reference Desk.

Bibliographic and Full-Text Products:

Bibliographic resources contain bibliographic citations and abstracts of specific articles, documents, reports, papers or proceedings. INNOPAC must be consulted for library holdings. 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. INNOPAC 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:

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.

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. Both the IBM and U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Internet sites offer the full text of over two million patents dating back to 1976. Interlibrary Loan can obtain any patent.
