Engineering Information Retrieval Tutorial

Welcome to the Engineering Information Retrieval pilot tutorial, a collaboration betweenDrexel University's Hagerty Library and Elsevier's Engineering Village 2. The tutorial is intended to be used primarily by undergraduate engineering students facing their first big research project.

The tutorial covers the following topics:

• a general review of information sources,
• how to develop a search strategy, where to find relevant articles,
• how to arrange to receive article updates, and
• patent searches.
