CU SAE
Global Mobility Database
Available on campus. Ask at the Engineering Library Reference Desk
for assistance with the login and password.
A searchable database that covers internationally published technical
literature and standards documents relating to all forms of self-propelled
vehicles - land, sea, air, and space. Database contains over 120,000
summaries in English, including detailed abstracts and bibliographic

Scitopia
This federated vertical search portal was created through the collaboration of 15 leading science and technology societies. It searches the entire electronic libraries of these societies, including more than three million documents, peer-reviewed journal content and technical conference papers, spanning 150 years of science and technology can be searched through the site. Though the search is freely available, access to many documents requries authentication. SAE records may be available in microfiche in the Library; contact us if you need an SAE paper. Coverage varies.
CU SPIE
