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.

Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature.
Using this link to access Google Scholar, you will see “is it @ Liverpool” next to results.
Clicking ''Is it @ Liverpool' will provide a link to the access the article, if University of Liverpool Library has licenced (i.e. paid-for) access to it.
