- Compendex
- Compendex is the most comprehensive bibliographic database of engineering research literature, containing references to over 5000 engineering journals and conferences. About half the citations (from 2600 journals and conferences) include abstracts and indexing in the records. Coverage: 1884 - present.
- American Society of Civil Engineers: Civil Engineering Database (CEDB)
- The CEDB Provides Access to over 97,000 Bibliographic and Abstracted Records. Coverage: 1956-
- Earthquake Engineering Abstracts
- EEA covers the world literature in earthquake engineering since 1971. Contents include selected technical reports,conference papers, monographs, and journal articles.
- GeoRef
- GeoRef indexes and abstracts the worldwide literature on geology, including information on energy sources, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, groundwater pollution, nuclear reactor sites, landslides, and erosion, as well as the history of the earth, the structure of the earth, the study of ore deposits, and geostatistics.
- ICE Virtual Library
- This index covers the papers of the Institution of Civil Engineers from 1836 to 1998.
- Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) Information Service Literature Searches
- A collection of over 400 searches performed by the MCEER staff in QUAKELINE, Compendex Plus, and the Earthquake and the Built Environement Index databases.
- QUAKELINE
- Covers earthquakes, earthquake engineering, natural hazard mitigation, and related topics. Includes publications types such as journal articles, conference papers, technical reports, maps and videotapes. Coverage May 1987-
- Transportation Research Board Publications Index
- The TRB Publications Index contains over 17,000 annotated citations for all Transportation Research Board and Strategic Highway Research Program publications from the mid 1970s until present.
- TRID (Transport Research International Documentation)
- TRID includes over 900,000 records covering transportation research from ITRD and TRIS. It includes TRB publications going back to 1923, including Highway Research Board, SHRP, and Marine Board publications. Also indexed are Environmental Impact Statements, theses, reports, and research in progress. TRID is the world's largest and most comprehensive bibliographic resource on transportation research information, covering all modes and disciplines of transportation. Coverage: 1920s - present.
