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!)
