This 90 minute workshop will focus on introducing you to Engineering Village, a sophisticated discovery platform for current and past engineering & computer science literature tracked in databases such as Compendex and INSPEC. Other important engineering resources will also be highlighted.

The workshop will cover how to use Engineering Village to find articles and conference papers in your field, track research in particular journals or by specific authors and monitor new research output going forward. We will also show you briefly how what you learn here can be applied to other resources.
