How can I go about conducting a retrospective literature review for engineering journal articles and conference papers, I need to survey some older material on my research topic?
The Library now offers access to two abstracting and indexing services that will enable you to find papers published over more than the last century. Compendex & the Ei Engineering Index backfile covers material indexed since 1884 while Inspec & the Inspec Archive dates back to 1898. Both of these resources can be searched from within the Ei Engineering Village 2. You can search by authors name or by subject keyword. Compendex is a comprehensive database that abstracts over 5000 engineering journals across a range of engineering disciplines. Inspec concentrates on electronics and electrical engineering, computer and control systems, and physics.
