Article Databases in Engineering
Note that many of these sources only index journal articles—they don't actually have the full text.
To access full text:
- Use the gold UC-eLinks button to do an automated search to find the full text
- Search for the journal title in the UCLA Library Catalog, or
- Request the article through interlibrary loan if UCLA does not own the full text
For more tips, see our guide on database searching.
