  4. Finding Print and Electronic Books Electrical and Computer Engineering – Computer Science Senior Design Use Library catalog to locate print and electronic books Search here: Advanced Keyword Searching http://innopac.library.drexel.edu/search/X Try Keyword:Sensor Networks Use Subject Searching to limit results

  5. Finding Electronic Books • ELECTRICALENGINEERINGnetBASE and other ENGnetBASE collections • Engineering electronic books from ENGnetBASE and other netBASE collections • Keyword: • Sensor Networks • Searching within e-book resource returns chapter-level results

  6. Finding Electronic Books Using Knovel Knovel – Engineering and Scientific online reference books What is Knovel? How can I access it? How can I keep updated with new features? Keyword: Sensor Networks Search My Subscription to access full text, search All Content as a discovery tool

  7. Finding Journal Articles • Electrical and Computer Engineering – Computer Science Senior Design • See also: • Electrical & Computer Engineering Research Guide • Computer Science & Software Engineering Research Guide • Electrical and Computer Engineering Databases

  8. Using IEEE Xplore • A graduate student finds IEEE Xplore and ACM Digital Library useful for his class project • Keyword: • Wireless sensor networks and environmental monitoring • Larger collection of materials requires more precise search strategy • Use database limiters to modify search results and identify active researchers

  9. Using Engineering Village (EiCompendex/INSPEC) • How do I obtain an article from a citation found in EiCompendex/INSPEC databases or (Engineering Village) when it is not available in full text? • Keyword: • Sensor networks and MAC protocol • Use SFX to locate full text, identify print holdings, or request via interlibrary loan

  10. Finding Patents • Electrical and Computer Engineering – Computer Science Senior Design • See also: • Patents Research Guide • Patent Searching • Patents, FDA approved medical devices and Intellectual Property • Scitopia – Search over 3.5 million documents, plus patents and government data • 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 IEEE Standards • How do I access IEEE Standards? • Engineering Standards Research Guide • See also: • How do I subscribe to RSS feeds from IEEE Xplore? How do I receive regular email notification of recently posted journals, magazines or standards? • How Do I access ASTM, SAE, ASHRAE, ISO or ANSI standards? Any other standards?

  12. Finding Ethical Information • Resources for Biomedical, Engineering Ethics, and Law • See also: • Emerging Technologies and Ethical Issues in Engineering: • ETHX on the Web – Bioethics and Professional Ethics Database

  13. Finding Data and Statistics • Statistical Resources Research Guide • See also: • Statistical Resources Blog entries • Lexis/Nexis Statistical • Useful Data Sets from various compilations • SimplyMap

  14. Business Infornation • Business Research Guides • Company Information • Marketing Information • Business Databases

  15. Understanding Citations • Tutorial: Citation Style Resources • Tutorial: Deciphering Citations • See also: • Citing your Sources: Giving Credit where Credit is Due (and avoiding Plagiarism)

  16. IEEE Style

  17. IEEE Style

  18. Managing Citations RefWorks Overviewhttp://www.library.drexel.edu/gethelp/tutorials/refworks RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management tool. It can help you organize citations for the books, journal articles, web sites, etc. that you find while doing research. Best of all, it can generate a properly formatted bibliography for your papers. This site guides you through the process of setting up a RefWorks account and getting started with this great tool. Highly recommended.
