Informit Engineering Collection
The School of Engineering may be interested to know more about the
Engineering Collection database available via the
Informit
Online platform. This database is full text with an Australian
slant, covering all broad engineering fields, including civil
engineering, engineering of railroads and roads, mining &
related operations, and sanitary & municipal engineering as
well as specialist engineering areas and produced in conjunction
with Engineers Australia.
Full text Engineers Australia reports are available via the
Engineering Collection as are conference papers, working papers and
other grey literature not easily unearthed in other databases.
Scholarly/peer-reviewed sources are clearly marked but not all
indexed sources are peer-reviewed or scholarly. RSS feeds are
available. Search results can be exported and search history can be
included in the output. The available help screens provide
information about coverage, searching tips (including thesauri),
working with search results as well as outputting those
results.
The Informit Online platform provides access to indexing and
abstracting services, but not full text access, to:
- Australian Nuclear Science & Technology Information (ANSTI)
- Australian Transport Index (ATRI)
- Australian Engineering Database (ENGINE)
- Australian Building Construction & Engineering Database (BUILD)
- Chemical Engineering Reference User Bibliography (CHERUB)
- Environmental Abstracts (EVA)
Full text access to TV news is also available and indexes
Australian television news, current affairs and selected
documentaries from the free-to-air networks with links to the
digitised video content in a compressed format. All individual
stories from a particular broadcast are indexed with a detailed
synopsis. TV news is updated daily.
