Databases

      Compendex
     Compendex is one of the most comprehensive bibliographic databases in the field of engineering. The citations
     are drawn from over 2,600 journals, conference proceedings, technical reports, and some books. Compendex
     is the online equivalent of the print Engineering Index from 1980 to the present (see below for additional coverage).
     Coverage from 1980 to Present.

Engineering Index Backfile
Online equivalent to the Engineering Index from 1884-1969. Provides some of the most comprehensive coverage
of engineering for that time period. Includes citations from journals, conference proceedings, technical reports, and
some books. Coverage from 1884 to 1969.

GeoRef
This database is a comprehensive geoscience resource containing over 2.6 million bibliographic records covering
subjects such as mineralogy and crystallography, general mineralogy, mineralogy of silicates, and mineralogy of
non-silicates. Bibliographic records from more than 3,000 journals are included in the database as well as journal
articles, books, maps, conference papers, reports, and theses. Coverage from 1785 to present.

GeoBase
GeoBase covers journals, books, monographs, conference proceedings and reports in all areas of geography,
geology and ecology. coverage from 1980 to present.

Technology Research Database
Technology Research Database (TRD) is comprised of a number of materials science and engineering databases
(e.g., Aluminum Industry Abstracts, Copper Data Center Database, METADEX, etc.). Dates of coverage vary for
each database.
 
Scopus
Scopus provides multidisciplinary indexing of the science and engineering literature. It is Elsevier's counterpart to ISI's Web of Science, providing the same core functionality but indexing a wider variety of journals and proceedings. Coverage generally from 1996 to present though some records date as far back as the mid-1800s.

Energy Citations Database
Citations and some full-text of materials from the Department of Energy and its predecessors.

U.S. Geological Survey - Publications
USGS online catalog containing over 325,000 citations to USGS publications produced since 1879. NOTE: Not all
USGS publications are listed in their online catalog.
