Hosted by Engineering Village this is the largest and most comprehensive interdisciplinary engineering database available

Engineering areas covered include: mechanical, civil, environmental, electrical, structural, process, materials science, solid state physics and superconductivity, bioengineering, energy, chemical, optics, air and water pollution, solid waste management, hazardous waste, road transportation, and transportation safety. Coverage: 1970 to present.
Google Scholar
A simple way to search for scholarly literature.

When using this link to access Google Scholar, you will see “is it @ Liverpool” next to the results. Selecting ''Is it @ Liverpool' will provide you with a link to access the article (if University of Liverpool Library has an active subscription to that content).
IEEE Xplore
- This link opens in a new window
Full text database of IEEE journals & conferences, IET conferences and IBM journals. Provides access to technical literature in electrical engineering, computer sciences and electronics.

The content of this online publishing platform comprises of annual conferences, eBooks, eJournals, and technical standards. We have full-text access to all IEEE eJournals, conference proceedings, standards, and eBooks, IET conference proceedings, and to the IBM journal backfiles.

ASTM Compass
Includes access to the full collection of standards from ASTM

The platform contains the current and historical ASTM standards and related technical engineering publications, including several ASTM journals and ASTM Symposia Papers and Special Technical Publications, and manuals. It contains nearly every ASTM book, paper, or chapter from nearly every piece of work published by ASTM.
Espacenet
A free online service for searching worldwide patents and patent applications, developed by the European Patent Office (EPO)

It enables you to search for information on published patent documents from more than 70 countries and regions. The database contains those patent documents which were published by the European Patent Office (EPO) in the last two years, but it does not contain any patent applications submitted to a national patent office.
