- AccessEngineering (online engineering handbooks)
- ENGnetBASE (online engineering handbooks)

Find business and policy articles and trade publications (e.g. energy policy or market information) using:
- ABI/Inform - Trade & Industry and CBCA Business (Note: can search both at the same time - click "Select multiple databases")
- SourceOECD (from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)

Find summaries and analyses of research done to date (review articles) using:
- Compendex (all engineering) and Inspec (electrical engineering and physics) - limit to treatment type of General Review or Literature Review before doing search
- Scopus (all science and engineering, plus business and social sciences) - after you do your search, limit to Document type = Review

Find academic journal articlesusing:
- Compendex (all engineering) and Inspec (electrical engineering and physics) - can search at the same time
- IEEE Xplore (electrical engineering - all IEEE publications)
- PubMed (biomedical engineering)
- Web of Science (all science and engineering)
- Scopus (all science and engineering, plus business and social sciences)
- Google Scholar (covers lots of topics but not complete)

Format your paper - use a specific style consistenly to document the articles and books you've used
Avoid plagiarism - make sure you let your professors know where you are getting your information
