Welcome

Welcome to the Resources for Construction Management 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 Construction Management.  Some of these databases provide full-text, while others provide the publication information needed to search the Library's holdings.

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:
WorldCat Local
WorldCat Local is a great place to start searching for books, articles and media located at the Boise State University Albertsons Library.  This database ALSO searches for books, articles and media available at thousands of libraries worldwide.   

Web Resources-- websites listed here include specialized sites that are not included on other pages

Example:
Construction.com: The Construction Industry Marketplace
This site, produced by publisher McGraw-Hill, includes news (ENR, Architectural Record, Design-Build), product information (Construction Zone), company information (Sweet's Directory Search), projects and career information for the construction industry.  Some information requires registration.

Web Guides-- searchable databases of websites and web pages of engineering interest.

Example:
Construction Information Sources
Searchable database of an extensive number of construction related sites.  Some sections have a Canadian emphasis.  Maintained by the non-profit Construction Technology Centre Atlantic at the University of New Brunswick.

Current Journals--link here to specific magazine and journal titles; most links provide table of contents and full-text access.
