Books - You may use the online catalog [http://library.ua.edu] to obtain the location and call number of print books in the UA Libraries. The catalog will also tell you if UA Libraries has a license for an electronic book. You may search by Book title, Book author or editor (last name first), Keyword, Subject heading, and other options.
Journal title - You may also search by the title of the journal to determine whether the library has a subscription to the journal title, electronically or in print; and which years of a journal title are available electronically and which years are available in print.
UA Theses - You may also use the online catalog to locate UA Master's and Ph. D. theses by searching as an Author the following: university of alabama. dept of (name here).
Click below for lists of UA theses:
• UA Ph. D. theses in chemical engineering (includes theses in chemical and biological engineering 2004 to present, chemical engineering 1932 to 2004, and chemical and metallurgical engineering 1972 to 1988)
• UA master's theses in chemical engineering (includes theses in chemical and biological engineering 2004 to present, chemical engineering 1932 to 2004, and chemical and metallurgical engineering 1972 to 1988)
Display long/detailed form of each entry to view notes field which indicates master's thesis or Ph. D. thesis.Full texts of many University of Alabama dissertations and theses published from 1996 to the present are available in electronic format to UA faculty, staff, and students, in the Dissertations & Theses @ the University of Alabama database. The database Dissertations & Theses includes full text of many universities' dissertations and/or the first 24 pages of the dissertations, most beginning with 1996.
Need journal articles, technical reports or conference papers? Search these databases and print indexes for citations and/or full text.
Some of the databases will contain full text articles and reports. Some will have links to full text articles and reports. For many databases, the Libraries have configured a button labeled Article Linker to help you determine if the Libraries has access to a given article or journal title. You may also search the online catalog by journal title to determine whether the Libraries have the journal volume in which a needed article is located.
