Databases and Electronic Resources

Databases

There are several databases that are very useful in the area of Electrical Engineering. A lot of the databases we subscribe to give you access to expenisve technical information free of charge as a UEL student. The information that you will find has been quality assured and reviewed so you can be sure of the quality. Much of the information on these databases is available full-text and is accessible from home, with your Athens account, as well as from University.

  • ABI/inform - This database is primarily useful in the field of Business, however there are a number of journals and articles realting to the area of Electrical Engineering.For example there are some IEEE journals are accessible through this database.
  • ACM digital library - This database is only available on campus.There are some IEEE journals held on this database. It allows you access to the 21 journals from the ACM. Please note that although the search results will show conference papers, these are not available full text on our subscription. . It is only the journal articles that you will be able to access full text from this database
  • ANTE - ( Abstracts in New Technologies and Engineering) This is an abstract database, so the information that you are able to access is a citation and an abstract. This database covers the subject areas of Technology and Engineering.
  • British Standards Online This database give full-text access to British Standards, some Eurocodes and International standards.
  • Construction Information Service A very useful database with a range of technical information on there from publishers sucah as the British Standards Institute and BRE. Again a lot of the information is available full-text to you.
  • EBSCO Academic Search Complete There are a number of journals on this database which relate to the field of Electrical Engineering and Engineering in general.
  • Sciencedirect This database has a host of information, journals and books. It is particularly useful for anything related to the environment and engineering as well as electrical engineering. There is a good coverage on this database and even if you can not get access to the full text you will get some good citations.

Electronic Resources

Electronic Books. The library holds several e-books in the area of electrical engineering. To access our e-book collection please search our library search from here you will be able to search and access our e-books with your Athens username and password from anywhere in the world. If you need more help then take a look at our e-book guide. The collection is continually growing and where ever possible will include core texts. Our e-books include:

  • Attenborough, M. (2003) Mathematics for electrical engineering and computing Dawsonera [Online] http://www.dawsonera.com
  • Bolton, W. (2006) Engineering science 5th edn. Dawsonera [Online] http://www.dawsonera.com
  • Bird, J. (2007) Electrical and electronic principles and technology 3rd edn. Dawsonera [Online] http://www.dawsonera.com
  • El-Hawary, M. (2008) Introduction to electrical power systems Adapted and updated edn. Dawsonera [Online] http://www.dawsonera.com
