Engineering Library Orientation -- This workshop offers new students a general overview of the Engineering Library facility and resources.
Using the Library Catalog to Find Engineering Resources -- Useful tips on how to use the library catalog for finding engineering resources.
RefWorks for Engineers -- Learn how to use a personal information managament and bibliography creator to create and manage citations retrieved while conducting your literature reviews. For supplemental instructional materials for this workshop, click here.
Finding Engineering Literature -- Engineering faculty and graduate students can learn about services available for obtaining library materials not found in the library collection either through purchase, document delivery, or interlibrary loan (ILLIAD). ILLIAD registration help will be offered in this session.
KNOVEL -- Learn how to search KNOVEL with its interactive capabilities. Over 1,600 reference books are available on your desktop through this product. For supplemental instructional materials for this workshop, click here.
LaTeX -- LaTeX is an open source document preparation system widely used in Engineering, Mathematics, natural sciences and other disciplines. Using LaTeX, you can write articles and reports faster and easier than by using word processors such as MS Word especially when using mathematical symbols, equations and when generating bibliographies. This workshop is aimed at getting familiar with the bare bones and features of LaTeX and will include a brief introduction to tools such as BiBTeX. For supplemental instructional materials for this workshop, click here.
IEEExplore/INSPEC/ACM -- Learn the searching capabilities of both IEEExplore and the IET database, INSPEC, and the ACM Digital Library. For supplemental instructional materials for this workshop, click here.
Engineering Books Online -- Learn about the thousands of engineering books available online and how to search for them.
Scopus -- Learn about Scopus, the world's largest abstract and indexing database. It offers more coverage to scientific, technical, medical, and social science literature than any single database.
