Use the Library Catalog to find books and other materials in the Library. In addition to books, all of the Library's journals, newspapers, recordings, reports, software, and any other holdings are in the Library Catalog. Electronic journals and electronic books are also cataloged and the Library Catalog has links to the electronic materials.
Do not use the Library Catalog if you want to search for journal articles. Use the databases described below to search for journal articles.

Other engineering handbooks can be found using the Online Catalog. Use the subheading HANDBOOKS with your subject, e.g. COMPUTERS HANDBOOKS, ELECTRONICS HANDBOOKS.
Manufacturers of semiconductors and other electronic components usually provide data books, application notes, and other detailed product information. Most of the manufacturers provide this material on their websites. To find manufacturers' websites, start with:
ThomasNet
Thomas Register of American Manufacturers, a searchable directory of manufacturers of all types of manufactured products; includes links to manufacturers' homepages.
Yahoo: Business and Economy: Business to Business: Electronics
Most of the major companies are listed under Semiconductors: Makers, but check out the other categories as well.
