INSPEC: Engineering Village Database

Leave a Comment

Just in time for Canada Day–the Libraries have purchased a subscription to the INSPEC database. INSPEC replaces the Killam Library’s subscription to the print version of Physics Abstracts.

INSPEC is a leading bibliographic database providing access to the world’s scientific literature in electrical engineering, electronics, physics (including Physics Abstracts), biomedical technology, control engineering, information technology, communications, computers, computing, and manufacturing and production engineering. The database contains over 11.2 million bibliographic records from scientific and technical journals and conference proceedings.

Online coverage is from 1969 to the present, and records are updated weekly. INSPEC is produced by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).

CRCnetBASE Ebooks: Trial Access

Leave a Comment

Dalhousie Libraries have arranged trial access to CRCnetBASE. CRCnetBASE is made up of over 6000 online books (full text handbooks, references, and monographs) that span more than 40 disciplines. CRC Press has traditionally been associated with the Sciences, specifically Chemistry and Engineering. However, the subject collections in CRCnetBASE cover a wide range of disciplines, including Information Security, Public Administration, Occupational Health & Safety, and Project Management.

In addition to e-books published under the imprint CRC Press, CRCnetBASE also includes online offerings from Auerbach and Chapman & Hall. The powerful search platform has been adopted throughout the world at academic and corporate institutions.

The Libraries have just acquired the Synthesis Digital Library of Engineering and Computer Science ebooks. Published by Morgan & Claypool, this collection covers everything from “Action Programming Languages” through “Engineering the Knee Meniscus” to “XML Retrieval.”

Synthesis is an innovative information service for the research, development and educational communities in engineering and computer science. The basic component of the Synthesis Digital Library is a 50- to 100-page electronic book that synthesizes an important research or development topic, authored by a prominent contributor to the field. Both simple and advanced searching are supported with the ability to personalize and save results. Individual items may be purchased in print or downloaded in PDF format.
