what are these?
These are social bookmarking services that allow internet users to store, search, and share bookmarks of webpages.

Databases

Engineering Village
The most comprehensive interdisciplinary engineering database in the world.  Covers all fields of engineering.

Science Direct College Edition
Full text access to Elsevier publications in the Sciences back to 1996.  GFU subscribes to the Life Sciences, Health Sciences, and Physical Sciences and Engineering journal packages.

Knovel Engineering
Knovel is a web-based application that integrates technical e-book information with analytical and search tools.  Knovel's interactive graphs and equations allow users to accurately plot points, test ranges for 'what-if' scenarios and solve real-world problems from tables and charts in references that would otherwise be static images on the page.  We have access to four sections of Knovel: 

  • Biochemistry, Biology and Biotechnology
  • Civil Engineering and Construction Materials
  • Electronics and Semiconductors
  • Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering

Synthesis Electromagnetics & Antennas Collection One
Produced by Morgan & Claypool Publishers, the Electromagnetics & Antennas Collection One is comprised of 25 Synthesis lectures.

Web of Science
Content in all science and engineering disciplines; includes a "cited reference" search to find articles that cite a specific article.

Academic Search Premier
An interdisciplinary database that provides full text articles.  Indexes many IEEE publications.

SpringerLink
Search thousands of journals, a significant number of which focus on engineering, and over 20,000 full text e-books.


Journal Collections

Oxford Journals
Over 200 academic and research journals covering a broad range of subject areas, two-thirds of which are published in collaboration with learned societies and other international organizations.

Wiley Interscience Journal
There are 75 journals plus one Book Series available.  Indexes all Wiley-Blackwell content including books but only has full text access for most of Wiley's several hundred journals.  Use the Browse by Product Type (Journals), then choose Engineering or Polymers and Materials Science.

Sage Journals
Includes 15 full text journals in Materials Studies.

Web resources
