CET 332: Civil Infrastructure

To search for information, there are two important things to do before you start:

1. determine what areas are likely to cover the information you need
2. determine possible keywords you can use for your search

Here's an example:

• Topic - State funding of arterial roadways
• Areas - Engineering, Political Science, Government
• Possible Keywords - capital project, highway statistics, funding, revenue sources, investments
• Types of resources - Newspapers, Magazines, Trade Journals, Peer-reviewed or Academic articles

Choose tools that cover the Areas you have identified to search for resources. (Tip: Ask a librarian if you are not sure where to find resources!)

Once you have an article or citation, the tools below can help you get to the full text of an article.
