The following are selected resources that are available at Fogler Library
or on the Internet. If you have questions about finding information
related to Civil & Environmental Engineering, please contact the Science and Engineering
Center: 581-1691 or email Martin Wallace. Or use our
Ask a
Librarian service.
Use these databases to locate citations or full text for journal
articles, conference papers, technical reports and theses on your research
topic.
Once you have located relevant articles, search URSUS by journal
or book title to determine if Fogler
Library owns the item. We may own journals in print or online or both
formats. Need to check the record listed as Serials (for print holdings)
and E-Serials (for electronic holdings). Must click on the
"Restricted Access UM" link to see the online holdings. If we do
not own the item you need, consider requesting through Interlibrary
Loan. Remember most of the articles listed in these databases cannot be
located by using a regular web browser such as Google. These databases
provide the means to locate scholarly research articles.
Tips for Searching:
Use truncation to allow for the various spellings of a word. Truncation symbol for most databases is the * (asterisk). For
example: geotechn* will retrieve: geotechnical, geotechnology,
geotechnics, etc.
Use double quotes to search for an exact phrase: "wave
energy" will retrieve much more precise results. Searching
without quotes in most databases yields a search for - wave and
energy. Finds the words anywhere in the same record not as a phrase.
Check the length of the article. Would probably
not want to pursue articles under 3 pages unless you are looking for news
items to gather information on companies or research labs making news.
Use synonyms to make your search more comprehensive. Link synonyms
with 'or' operator. For example: collaps* or failure* or
disaster*
Link concepts with the 'and' operator. Use parentheses to group
synonyms together when using one search box. For example: (bridge or
overpass*) and (failure* or collaps* or accident*)
When you have located some relevant articles, review the abstract and
subject headings of these records. Utilize subject headings for more precise
results. Most databases you can click on a subject heading for a new
search and then refine this new search with additional keywords.
Utilize the bibliography at the end of relevant research papers to expand
your list of resources. Some of these references may have
errors. It has been found that 20% of the references cited will have
an error.
