ENGE 2984: Engineering Success: Getting Started

This guide will walk you through the process of searching for, selecting, accessing, and using the research resources that you need for ENGE 2984, and beyond!  

A few tips to get you started:

1.  Don't be afraid to ask for help.  Simply contact your librarian directly ---------->  

2.  If you're doing research from off campus, you'll be prompted to log in via 2-factor authentication. 

3.  Use Discovery Search (scroll down below the image to access the search box) to conduct a Google-like search of most of our library resources.  While it's not a disciplinary database, like the ones that I recommend to you on this guide, it can help you gain a broad overview of a particular research topic or question.  

4.  When trying to access articles and other resources, look for the Get VText box:

Google Scholar will connect you with VT Libraries resources--look for the "Get VText" link to the right of each item that you find through Google Scholar.
