Databases
See below for an alphabetical list of the electronic databases, e-book collections, and e-journal collections to which the library subscribes. Access to these e-resources is restricted to the students and staff of Brunel University for licensing and technical reasons. Some licence agreements may exclude access to databases and their contents from certain countries. It is your responsibility to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant licence agreements - for more information see the copyright web page on databases - contact copyright@brunel.ac.uk if you have any questions.
For more information on how to access the databases on-campus and off-campus see the e-Library web page. A small number of e-resources require a unique username and password instead. These are given on the password page on our intranet. Please do not share credentials with anyone.

SAE Technical Papers
Technical papers published by the Society of Automotive Engineers are available from 1990 onwards in the SAE Digital Library (SAE DL). The new SAE DL references thousands of papers covering the latest advances and research in all areas of mobility engineering including ground vehicle, aerospace, off-highway, and manufacturing technology. Brunel's institutional login is required for access. NB: To search abstracts of papers published by external institutions you should deselect the default setting: "Limit to Full Text". Abstract records are indicated by the lack of a PDF icon within the results. If such a paper is not available in print format in the Library catalogue then it may be purchased from the Inter-Library Loan Service. Chrome users may find that their browser prevents SAE DL from working - switch to another browser if so.
