STANDARDS AND CODES OF PRACTICE
Standards and codes of practice
are an important source of information for engineers.
All Australian Standards are available online at JCU.
The Library does not hold printed copies of all standards, but acquires copies of Australian, British and American standards as required. A catalogue of available standards may be found on the Standards Australia website.
JOURNAL INDEXES

ELECTRONIC DATABASES
Many journal indexes are available
in electronic form. The range of indexes available in this way is much
larger than that held in print by any individual library and they often
contain the most up-to-date references. Some databases also provide the
full text of some journals, in addition to the abstract. Databases
may be accessed from off
campus via Remote Access.
Direct links to the services
listed below are available at this Internet address :

Current Contents
Connect is a multidisciplinary current awareness
service for over 8,000 journals and more than 2,000 books
Informit provides access
to several engineering databases including Australian Engineering Database
(ENGINE), Australian Transport Index, and Chemical Engineering
Reference User Bibliography (CHERUB).
InfoTrac provides access
to Expanded Academic ASAP which has some articles in full text.
IngentaConnect provides journal article searches
as well as search alerting and tables of contents services.
ProQuest includes ProQuest Science Journals and other databases covering a range of disciplines.
ScienceDirect has access
to full text for around 300 of the 1700 titles, with contents pages and
abstracts for the remainder.
SciFinder Scholar
is primarily a chemistry database, but with significant coverage of engineering.
Web of Science
gives access
to Science Citation Index Expanded and other citation indexes.
As well as topic searching for journal articles, the citation indexes
allow "cited reference" searching and enable you to examine
a document's historical origin and follow through to its current position
in the research literature.
Wiley InterScience provides
all Wiley journals in full-text from 1997 onward.
The Faculty Librarian
also maintains links to Internet
resources for Engineering.
