Recommendations for finding articles, books, and reports for a variety of Engineering subfields

Finding Background Information

Not sure how to start your research? Background and reference sources can help you...

  • Gather initial information about a topic
  • Get a rough overview so you can decide what areas to research further

Reference books and online tools are great for looking up a quick fact, definition, or date, and they can direct you to more sources.

If none of the suggestions on this page fit what you're looking for, try a search in the library catalog for your research topic and add "reference", "handbook", "guide", or "companion" to see what materials we have on your topic. 

Don't underestimate the value of reference materials and sources like Wikipedia to help set you up for future research!
