Academic Search Premier is a general-purpose database that contains some core titles in engineering. It has some full text as well as FindText links to other full text and print subscriptions at UT. You may display just Academic Journals to find scholarly articles.

Using FindText to determine whether the journal is at UT

Databases either contain electronic copies of journal, magazine, and newspaper articles, engineering standards or citations to these articles.

A citation describes the publication information of an article but does not give the full text. Example:

A good buy - The new Brooklyn bridge
Anon Source: Steel Times International, v 29, n 2, February/March, 2005, p 28+30

In the case of citations, you will need to click on the icon provided in the database to determine whether full text/print is available. Or if there is no FindText icon, you will need to look in the UT Libraries Catalog.
