The following is a list of online databases available in the
Frederick Douglass Library to assist you with research in
Engineering & Technology.
Environmental Engineering Abstracts
Covers air and water
quality, environmental safety, energy production from 1990 to the present.
Health and Safety Science Abstracts
This database provides a comprehensive, timely
survey of recent work relating to public health, safety, and industrial
hygiene. Cited studies are geared to help individuals identify, evaluate,
and eliminate or control risks and hazards across the spectrum of
environmental and occupational situations. The database provides the latest
perspectives on topics of widespread concern such as aviation and aerospace
safety, environmental safety, nuclear safety, medical safety occupational
safety, and ergonomics. Health and safety related aspects of pollution,
waste disposal, radiation, pesticides, epidemics - and countless other
phenomena having the potential to threaten the public, the environment, or
the workplace itself - are reported here.
MicroPatents Materials Patents
This database provides
US and European patents
related to materials science and engineering.
Science Direct
Science Direct provides access to over 2,000 journals
including the full text of over five hundred journals . Articles are
generally available from 1995 forward. Coverage is strongest for biology,
chemistry, geology, marine science, mathematics, medicine and physics, but
numerous other disciplines are represented, including business, child
development, coastal resource management, computer science, economics,
history, hospitality, industrial technology, library and information
science, and tourism.
Science Resource Center
Science Resource Center is an in-depth,
curriculum-oriented science database that provides a one-stop resource for
all science-related research needs. This 24/7 resource reflects curriculum
trends and focuses on key concepts taught in school classrooms including
biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, math, environmental science,
life science, medicine, space science, computer science, technology, history
of science, science and society, science as inquiry, science-related
biographies and more.
Toxicology Abstracts
Toxicology Abstracts covers issues from
social poisons and substance abuse to natural toxins, from legislation and
recommended standards to environmental issues. Surveying the literature for
toxicology studies of industrial and agricultural chemicals, household products,
pharmaceuticals, and myriad other substances, each issue publishes information
concerning the in vivo effects of toxic substances. Topics of current concern
such as the effects of alcohol and smoking, drug abuse, hydrocarbon studies,
nitrosamines, radiation and radioactive materials, and much more are extensively
examined. Toxicity testing methodology and analytical procedures for toxic
substances are also covered.
