Do You Even Science?

The Library has bulked up lately on new, performance-enhancing databases in science and engineering.  Let the library spot you on the following new tools to help bring your research game to the next level:

Advanced Technologies & Aerospace Database 

This database from Proquest brings you research in aeronautics, astronautics, computer and information technology, and solid-state materials.  Included are over 26 million abstract and indexed records and full-text articles from over 2,250 publications, including scholarly journals, trade periodicals, reports and conference proceedings.  Coverage goes back to 1962.  Planning a trip to Mars?  This database will help you find the right stuff.
