Wiley InterScience Reference Works

The Engineering Library is pleased to provide The College of Engineering students and faculty with online access to a selection of major reference works from Wiley. Please visit the library's online catalog to see the full list of titles available, or click on www.interscience.wiley.com.

Wiley InterScience Major Reference Works (interscience.wiley.com/reference) are fully searchable—search the text for a phrase, article title, or keyword, browse the alphabetical and subject lists of articles, or widen your search across all content on Wiley InterScience.

Online Engineering Encyclopedias

The Engineering Library is seeking new ways to get good quality reference materials into the hands of faculty and students. We feel it is important to offer scholarly and reliable alternatives to web sources such as "Wikipedia" via the campus network.

Thus we have purchased on-line access to a number of encyclopedias and want to draw your attention to them: (you can link them separately)

  • Encyclopedia of Biomedical Engineering,
  • Encyclopedia of Cell Technology,
  • Encyclopedia of Energy,
  • Encyclopedia of Environmental Microbiology,
  • Encyclopedia of Hydrological Sciences,
  • Encyclopedia of Medical Devices and Instrumentation, and
  • Encyclopedia of Smart Materials.

We have added a link from the Engineering Library web page to the encyclopedias:
http://www.library.nd.edu/ddw/public/resource_list.cgi?term_id_1=17589&term_id_2=18984&list_type=combo_term

We hope you will use them and let your students know about them; incorporate them into class assignments, etc. If you would like us to find others that cover subjects we do not have, please let us know.

Your feedback is always welcome!
