Outline on using information resources for

Electrical Engineering - Telecommunications - Networking Security:

Variety of resources are available from Hagerty library's web site. You will need to learn how to use them in order to find relevant information for your projects. There are number of electronic databases and journals available to Drexel faculty and students

Searching the catalog

http://innopac.library.drexel.edu/

Use this catalog to find if we have any materials/books on your design project. For example, Networks and security; Wiley Encyclopedia of Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Use them as keywords to locate books in this area

For example,

Cryptography and network security : principles and practice

Call number:

TK5105.59 .S713 1999

Other Subjects used:

Computer Security
Computer Networks--Security Measures
Data Encryption--Computer Science

Locate books using the call numbers on the spine of the book. Books are located on the 2nd floor. Books on RESERVE are kept in the RESERVE BOOK ROOM on 1st floor.

Document Delivery

If you require journal articles, books or patents (old pre-1971) that we do not have in either electronic or print form, request them through Interlibrary Loan services.

Select the type of material you need; fill the appropriate fields in the form

Researching and accessing electronic resources from home:

1. go to

http://www.library.drexel.edu/er/er.html

Electronic Resources page

2. Go to Electronic Resources Help page

http://www.library.drexel.edu/er/help/default.html

3. Click on Off-campus?: Setting up your Computer to Access E-Resources

http://www.library.drexel.edu/er/help/proxies.html

4.Click on Browser specific instructions for setting a proxy:

http://www.library.drexel.edu/er/help/proxies.html#Browser

Depending on the browser you use, for example, Internet Explorer or Netscape,

use instructions for that browser

NOTE:

Note: Currently, there is a problem using version 5.5 with the proxy. Please

use an earlier version of Internet Explorer (version 5.0 is on the Drexel 2000

CD), or Netscape Navigator until resolved.

4.After proxy is set up correctly,

go back to:

http://www.library.drexel.edu/er/er.html

Click on the database or journals you want

A login window will appear. Fill in your name and the barcode

on your DragonCard.

You need only login once per session unless you stop using the electronic

resources actively for more than ten minutes. Then, you would be required to

login again. You only need to follow setup steps 1 and 2 once.
