These are just a few of the available databases and resources you should try searching when starting your literature search. Consult with your Grainger librarian or graduate assistant for additional ideas.
Provides access to over 16 million citations from MEDLINE and other life science journals for biomedical articles back to the 1950s. Includes links to many sites providing full text articles and other related resources.
Most comprehensive engineering literature and patent information available. Most relevant resources will be in Compendex for traditional engineering fields (mechanical, civil, industrial, etc. or INSPEC for physics, electrical and computer engineering), US Patents and European (EP) Patents databases.
Online access the most-used collection of authoritative, regularly updated engineering reference information, including Marks’ Handbook, Roark’s Formulas for Stress & Strain; Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook, and several Schaum’s Outlines for mechanics, statics and dynamics.
The ASTM Standards and Engineering Digital Library contains standards and technical engineering information covering a broad range of engineering disciplines.
AAMI standards are currently not available in print or online. Please ask the Reference Desk if you need help locating an AAMI standard, or email enginlib@library.illinois.edu.
