IEEE, a database you have access to as a Union student or faculty member, has many articles for research in engineering and technology. To use IEEE, go to our Databases, E-books, and Media quick link on the library’s homepage and then find IEEE. We recommend you create a free account for IEEE using your Union email. This will allow you to use additional features not available when are not logged into your account.
You can search in IEEE using both a basic and advanced search. Once your results appear, you may want to use the subscribed content or open access only filters to make sure you will be able to find the full article. You will also notice a lock icon next to the article titles; green locks are available immediately while red lock articles will need to be requested through Interlibrary Loan. Another way to filter results is type of resources. This would be helpful if you are looking for a specific type of resource such as an article but not conference proceedings.
If you decide to create an account, one feature I like is the ability to save your search and get email notifications when new content from your search is available. The personal account will also give you the ability to use the IEEE app on your phone or tablet. Please note when using the app, you will want to be on Union WiFi or look for open access content only, so you can access the articles from the app.
If you have questions or need help researching in IEEE, please schedule a research coach appointment. A librarian would be happy to meet with you and answer your questions.
