No matter which industrial or systems engineering topic you're researching, these databases are a good place to start your search:
An engineering-focused database that includes journals, conference proceedings, dissertations, standards, books, and preprints. Content is sourced from publishers from around the world, including major engineering societies such as IEEE, ASME, SAE and ACM.
The SPIE Digital Library is the most extensive resource available on optics and photonics, providing unprecedented access to technical publications from SPIE Journals, Conference Proceedings and Presentations, and eBooks.
These resources may provide additional, or more specialized, information:
Full-text access to high quality technical literature in electrical engineering, computer science, electronics, and other related technology disciplines. Includes IEEE journals, magazines, conference proceedings, and standards, in addition to books and educational courses.
Books about Industrial & Systems Engineering can be located through the UC Library Catalog. You can search in the UC Library Catalog by author, title, keyword or subject.
They can be accessed through UC Libraries Textbook and Reserves List, both online and in print.
Standards are one type of specialized information you may need to find as a mechanical engineer. Standards are documents that establish agreed upon ways of doing things that may apply to materials, products, processes, and services. Some places to locate standards are:
Patents are an excellent source of technical information. See patent web guide for more information.
