JRVP Online Catalog Contains records of materials owned by the MTU Library. Two search interfaces, Basic and Keyword allow the user to search for items by author, title, subject, call number, ISBN/ISSN, or keyword(s.) Catalog records include bibliographic and location information for items retrieved in your search. Use the Location, Status, Call Number information to find an item in the Library collections.

Online databases: finding journal articles, electronic books, encyclopedia articles, and handbook papers Database Keyword Search Tips - http://www.lib.mtu.edu/reference/tutorials/databasekeyword.aspx To find citations to recent articles from journals, conference proceedings, and other publications, go to the Library’s web page and select E-Resources & E-Alerts. The resulting screen offers four search options for finding databases or electronic journals: (1) Keyword search of database titles and/or descriptions, (2) E-Resources A-Z to browse an alphabetical list by title (3) Search by Subject Headings, (4) Search by Provider. Many databases include articles in full text. If you're viewing an article citation from a database and see the HuskyFetch symbol, click on it for options for locating the article. Most of these databases may be accessed by MTU students/faculty/staff from off-campus by entering your ISO/HuskyMail user ID and password. Here are some databases recommended for this course: ACS Publications (Coverage: 1879 – Present) Applied Science & Technology Abstracts (Coverage: 1983 – Present) ASM Materials Information Online (MIO) Compendex (Coverage: 1970 – Present) Conference Papers Index (Coverage: 1982 – Present) Copper Data Center Database (Coverage: 1965 – Present) Corrosion Abstracts (Coverage: 1980 – Present) Current Research @ Michigan Technological University (Coverage: 1968 – Present) Engineered Materials Abstracts (Coverage: 1986 – Present) ENGnetBase (electronic books) compiles a wide range of information in engineering handbooks published by CRC. Google Scholar (Coverage: 1900 – Present) INSPEC (Coverage: 1969 – Present)
