While you wait for the in-class Library Session to begin:
Find the MSE 380 Materials Properties Lab resources guide
We will be using this page for today's presentation
By the end of the library session, you will be able to:
Identify library databases to search for research articles related to your MSE projects
Search for materials properties and standards related to your topic
Use your initial search results to develop a more refined search strategy
In this exercise you will:
Develop a search strategy from a research statement
Search a database to get to know the features available and the content you can find
Identify a material related to your topic, then search for properties for that material
Search for industry standards that relate to that material and your topic
At the end of the activity you will be asked to share a tip with future MSE students about what you learned.
You will need the MSE 380: Activity Worksheet to complete in-class tasks. Below is a link to the Google doc. You will need to make a copy if you want to use it to take notes.
