The NTRS is a valuable resource for students, educators, researchers, and the public for access to NASA’s current and historical technical literature since it was first released in 1994. NTRS provides access to approximately 500K aerospace related citations, 90K full-text online documents, and 111K images and videos. NTRS numbers continues to grow over time as new scientific and technical information (STI) is created or funded by NASA. The type of information found in NTRS include: conference papers, images, journal articles, photos, meeting papers, movies, patents, research reports, and technical videos. The NACA collection is historical information from the NACA period lasting from 1915 to 1958. The NASA collection time period starts in 1958 and continues to the present.

The Multidisciplinary Research University (MURI) Program is a multi-agency DoD program that supports research teams whose efforts intersect more than one traditional science and engineering discipline.
Multidisciplinary team effort can accelerate research progress in areas particularly suited to this approach.
Human Performance Center’s HPC SPIDER is the Navy’s premier online resource for human performance and training technology for lifelong learning. From the ‘Library’ section in the left frame, a number of databases, repositories, gateways, and portals can be accessed. Reports section in the left frame also provides access to ‘Information Literacy – Records’ that link to resources on information literacy.
Drexel IEEE Graduate Forum in collaboration with Drexel University Libraries presents a workshop on ENDNOTE in the Library on May 9th. The workshop will feature the use of major engineering databases such as IEEE Xplore, INSPEC, Ei Compendex, Web of Science, ACM Digital Library and ScienceDirect. Examples of citations from these databases will be used to integrate them into a word document.
See: Electrical and Computer Engineering Research to access these databases
Date: May 9th
Location: Room L33, Hagerty Library
Time: 3 pm
Millions of researchers, scholarly writers, students, and librarians use EndNote, to search online bibliographic databases, organize their references, images and PDFs in any language, and create bibliographies and figure lists instantly. For more information, please refer to: about ENDNOTE
