Find Books

Libraries Search can be used to find books (both print books, ebooks, and some audiobooks).

To focus in on books, you can limit to books prior to searching by choosing it under Resource Type.

Advanced Search, with book selected from Resource Type.

After a search, you can refine to books (under resource type) and specify you want content available online (e.g., ebooks).

 

Refine to books (under resource type) and available online (if you want ebooks)

You will see print books available across OSU and OhioLINK locations. You can refine to specify a specific library location for a print book, if desired.

OSU Libraries' Engineering Resources

Below are some of the most popular engineering research databases. 
Complete list of Engineering Databases **  Information on using databases

Shown below are some popular science and engineering journals available online through OSU Library subscriptions. For a complete listing of all OSU Library e-journals, visit the OSU Libraries' Online Journals List  (or search for print and e-journals in the OSU catalog.)  More info on e-journals.

Shown below is a small sampling of available e-reference books.  Some of these eBooks are available through our subscription to Knovel, a collection of science and engineering eBooks,which allows full-text searching of all titles.  SpringerLink is an additional valuable resource for eBooks. SpringerLink eBooks will appear in the OSU catalog, but there is a delay between acquisition and appearance in the catalog. Therefore, going directly to the SpringerLink site is advised. The National Academies Press makes all its books freely available.

Knovel          SpringerLink         National Academies Press

All OSU eBooks (and print books) are searchable by title through the OSU Library Catalog, however, many e-books available only through OhioLINK are not included in the OSU Library Catalog and can only be found through a search of the OhioLINK e-Book Catalog.

   OSU has access to many e-dissertations and theses through Proquest.  (For best results, use the Advanced Search.)   Proquest

Academic Search Complete

Ebsco Host

Academic Search Complete (EBSCO) can be used to find a wide variety of articles related to most academic areas.  If you prefer more specificity, however, the library has a large selection of databases available for your use (also see list of popular databases in the top, right of this page).

Some tips for writing your paper using Academic Search Complete (EBSCO):

  1. Start with magazine and newspaper articles.
    1. Use the Advanced Search option to search for your topic in Academic Search Complete (EBSCO).
    2. Limit your results (left column, Source Types) to magazines and newspapers.
    3. Limit those results (left column, Publication) to titles you know (Discover Magazine, New York Times, etc.).
  2. Read about your subject in the above magazines and books and then, if necessary, extend your search to academic journal articles (still using Academic Search Complete).
