Library Search Tools
WPI Library Search is the Gordon Library's main search box, and it searches across all library resources. Researchers can also search within a particular library database, or previous student projects (IQPs, MQPs, theses, dissertations).
Library databases are online collections of published works centered on a particular subject--electrical engineering, social science, etc.--or source type--statistics, technical handbooks, etc. Most subject databases provide access to a wide variety of information sources, including newspaper articles, encyclopedias, eBooks, data & statistics, and journal articles.
When looking for a specific journal publication, search in WPI Library Search, or use BrowZine, which also has a mobile app available.
Library Research Guides
The Library also has research guides available for self-paced instruction. Research guides are collections of resources specifically for the WPI community. There are guides for different courses and subjects, as well as several guides on popular research topics, such as citing sources and research methodology.
