Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources (SULAIR) now licenses Engineering Index through both SearchPlus and the recently-acquired Ei Engineering Village platform.
Engineering Index, also known as Compendex, is a comprehensive index of engineering research containing references and abstracts from over 5,000 engineering journals and conferences. The broad subject areas of engineering and applied science are represented including chemical and process engineering, computers and data processing, applied physics, electronics and communications, civil, mechanical and materials engineering. SULAIR license includes coverage from 1884 to the present. 600,000 new records are added to the database annually.
The Ei Engineering Village platform includes the Find It @ Stanford link 
embedded with the citations. Clicking on this button will give you a list of full-text online sources that are available at Stanford. If no full-text online sources are available, you can easily search Socrates (Stanford's online catalog) or the UC catalog from the SFX menu.
The search results page on the Ei Engineering Village platform has several features:
- Save search strategies.
- Create email alerts.
- Create RSS feeds.
- Assign tags to articles, make them private or share tags with work groups.
- Limit result sets using faceted terms-author, author affiliation, controlled vocabulary, classification code, country, document type, language, year, serial title, publisher.
You can find Engineering Index on SULAIR's databases and articles Web page. Select Browse by Title and then click "Go" for an alphabetized list of all titles. You can also access Ei Engineering Village here.
