The branch of engineering concerned with the practical applications of
electricity in all its forms, including those of the field of electronics.
Electronics engineering is that branch of electrical engineering concerned
with the uses of the electromagnetic spectrum and with the application
of such electronic devices as integrated circuits, transistors, and vacuum
tubes.

Abstracts and Indexes to Academic or Scholarly Articles
Although many databases contain links to full-text articles, when
you find article citations in the index databases, you need to search
Chinook to see if University
Libraries own that periodical title.
CU Engineering Village 2—Compendex, INSPEC, and NTIS
Compendex is a comprehensive bibliographic database of engineering research literature. Contains references and abstracts to engineering journals, conferences and technical reports. Subject areas include: chemical and process engineering, computers and data processing, applied physics, electronics and communications as well as civil and mechanical engineering. Includes links to full text when available. Coverage: 1884 - present.
INSPEC is a bibliographic database that indexes physics, astronomy and astrophysics, electrical engineering and electronics, computers and control engineering and information technology. The database contains full-text links when available. Coverage: 1898 - present.
The National Technical Information Service (NTIS) database from the U.S. Department of Commerce provides access to unclassified reports from influential U.S. and international government agencies. The database contains over two million critical citations from government departments such as NASA, the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Defense. Most items cited in this database are available in microfiche format in the Government Publications Library. Coverage: 1964-present.

CU IEEE/IEE
Electronic Library
Provides full-text access to IEEE transactions, journals, magazines
and conference proceedings and all current IEEE Standards. The site
uses the IEEE Xplore search and navigation system. Subjects include
electrical engineering and computer science. Coverage: 1988 - present.
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. Coverage varies.
CU SPIE
Digital Library
Provides full text of articles published in the Proceedings of the SPIE and the society's journals from 1990 to the present.
CU Web
of Science
Provides access to current and retrospective bibliographic information,
author abstracts, and cited references found in 5,700 of the world's
leading scholarly science and technical journals covering more than
164 disciplines. The database allows you to search for specific articles
by subject, author, journal, and/or author address. Because the information stored about each article includes the article's cited reference list (often called its bibliography) the database is often used to search for articlesthat cite a known author or work. Coverage: 1900 - present.
