It is National Library Week!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"National_Library_week\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you know how much your Engineering Library has to offer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Stack_of_books\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Lichtenberger Engineering Library – YOUR<\/strong> library – has a collection of more than 150,000 books! We also provide access to over 5,000 current electronic journal titles, and over 100 engineering-related DVDs!<\/p>\n

On or off-campus, you have access to multiple databases, including Web of Science, Compendex and PubMed.\u00a0 Compendex is the most comprehensive bibliographic database of scientific and technical engineering research available, covering all engineering disciplines. It includes millions of bibliographic citations and abstracts from thousands of engineering journals and conference proceedings. When combined with the Engineering Index Backfile (1884-1969), Compendex covers well over 120 years of core engineering literature. And that is just one of the available databases!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a lot of information to sift through.\u00a0 Where do you even start? We have resource\/subject guides related to specific departments or resources. Looking for information on patents or biomedical engineering? We’ve got the subject guides to help you get started.\u00a0 Still at a bit of a loss? Come to us for personal assistance! From locating resources within the library to demonstrations on resources and services for individuals, classes or groups, we can help.\u00a0 Please interrupt us!<\/p>\n

What is a research project or paper without\u00a0Standards <\/a>or Patents<\/a>? We have electronic access to standards from various agencies, including International Standard Organization (ISO), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), ASTM International and many others. You also have access to the patents from many different countries \u2013 all available electronically!<\/p>\n

Even with all these resources, we might not have exactly<\/em> what you are looking for right here in the Engineering Library. Never fear, there are several ways to get resources to you. If what you are looking for is in another of our on-campus libraries, you may request to have that book delivered to the Engineering Library, ready for you to check out. Is that article or book chapter fewer than 50 pages? You can have it copied and a pdf will be emailed directly to you \u2013 for free! That resource in an off-campus library? InterLibrary Loan<\/a> can help with that.<\/p>\n

\"Pyle<\/a>
Pyle PLMT68 Light Meter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sometimes you need more than books and articles for an assignment or project. Do you need a light meter, sound meter, eyeball webcam or wrenches, pliers and screwdrivers for that project? We have them, and more! Check out all the tools are available in our Tool Library!<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Group_Study_Room4_small\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have two new group study rooms<\/a> available for you to reserve for those group projects. They both have whiteboard walls and one includes a large-screen TV with laptop connections. \u00a0Besides the group study rooms there are several other areas in which to study.\u00a0 Tables, individual carrels \u2013 both upstairs and down, beanbag chairs downstairs, and comfy chairs throughout the library all provide both spaces for collaboration and\u00a0for quiet study.<\/p>\n

When you are ready to pull that research paper or project together we have several software programs available that will create bibliographies and citations in a wide variety of formatting styles. One of the software packages is\u00a0Endnote <\/a>and it, along with the others, will\u00a0help you wind up that paper in style!<\/p>\n
