A recent study revealed that Google Scholar had a 90% matching rate with COMPENDEX for materials published after 1990. Since Compendex is THE Engineering Index, using Google Scholar, perhaps in conjunction with Web of Science for any pre-1990 publications, should get you the articles you need for any Engineering research. Use the "Check Tripod" and "Find it @ Swarthmore" links to see if we have access to full text. Not in Tripod? Also look for access to PDFs & look through "all x versions" - you can often find full-text articles even though we don't subscribe to them! If you can't find unsubscribed-to article here, don't hesitate to use InterLibrary Loan!
