  4. Engineering Reference Assistance

  5. Finding Print and Electronic Books Engineering 101-102-103 resources for freshman design projects http://www.library.drexel.edu/blogs/engineeringlibraryinstruction/?p=42 Search here: Advanced Keyword Searching http://innopac.library.drexel.edu/search/X Try Keyword:Wind Turbine

  6. Finding Electronic Books Engineering electronic books from ENGnetBASE and other netBASE collections http://www.library.drexel.edu/blogs/englibrary/?p=127 Try Search: Wind Turbines and Fluid Dynamics

  7. Finding Electronic Books Using KNOVELKnovel - Engineering and Scientific online reference books Try Keyword: Wind Turbines

  8. Finding Databases and Journal Articles Fundamentals of Engineering Research http://www.library.drexel.edu/resources/guides/engineeringguides/?page_id=3 Try Keywords: Wind Turbines and Fluid Dynamics Databases: Engineering Village IEEE Xplore Proquest Research Library

  9. Finding Databases and Journal Articles Engineering Village User’s Guide http://www.library.drexel.edu/blogs/engineeringlibraryinstruction/?p=8 Using Engineering Village, Try Keywords: Wind Turbines and Fluid Dynamics Click on ‘SFX’ to get Full Paper when available

  10. Patent Searching Engineering 101-102-103 resources for freshman design projects http://www.library.drexel.edu/blogs/engineeringlibraryinstruction/?p=10 1. Search for a patent in USPTO2. Find its patent number 3. Go to pat2pdf.org and get the full patent using patent number

  11. Finding Data Statistical Resources Statistical Resourceshttp://www.library.drexel.edu/blogs/englibrary/?cat=11 Lexis/Nexis Statisticalhttp://www.library.drexel.edu/blogs/englibrary/?p=200 Example: Find key data for the generating capacity of wind energy Source: Key Results For High Renewable Energy Case [Capacity, Generation, And Emissions, 2002-2025] , Issued By: Energy Information Administration , Publication Date: January, 2004 Use ‘Wind’ and ‘Energy’ as keywords

  12. Understanding Citations Citation Style Resourceshttp://www.library.drexel.edu/resources/tutorials/citations.html Citing Sources and Avoiding Plagiarism: Documentation Guidelines Created by Duke University Library, this resource guide helps you cite sources within your paper, create a list of works cited, and discusses plagiarism and how it can be avoided.
