Science & Engineering

UK Libraries supports teaching and research across the sciences and engineering by providing access to print collections, databases, and other electronic resources, including:

• E-books and general and specialized journals
• Major bibliographical and reference sources
• Government agency and other organizational resources
• Indexing and abstracting tools

These resources are primarily housed in the Science & Engineering Library, with the exception of biology and agricultural materials, which are held by Young Library.

Use our Science & Engineering research guides as a gateway to print and electronic resources for science and engineering disciplines, or jump right into research with popular Science & Engineering databases.
