Welcome to the Resources for Civil Engineering guide.  I've listed a few quick resources on this page, with explanations regarding the additional information on pages accessed by the tabs above. 

Articles--to find an article on a specific topic, select from these searchable article databases that cover aspects of Civil Engineering.

Example:
Compendex and INSPEC (1969-current)
Compendex covers periodical articles and conference papers for all engineering disciplines; INSPEC covers topics in electrical engineering, physics, computers and control. Search both databases through the Engineering Village 2 platform.

Books--databases that help you identify books of interest.

Example:
Library Catalog
The best place to search for books and media located at the Boise State University Albertsons Library.  Includes some electronic and audio books.

Technical Reports--a variety of databases that search technical information produced in technical reports.

Example:
OAIster
Digital resources available include electronic theses and dissertations, technical reports, and eprints.

 Patents--search web databases for patents

Example:
US Patent and Trademark Office
Search the full-text of United States patents from 1976 to current at the USPTO's official site.  Images of patents from 1790 to current are also available at this site, searchable by Patent Number or by the current Class/ Subclass.
