Welcome to the Library Course Guide for Civil and Environmental Engineering 298, Project Management and Professional Practice. Below are a number of resources to help you throughout the course.
Have other questions? Can't find a full text copy of something you'd like to read? Contact Sue using the email/phone/appointment request button on this webpage, or use the library AskUs webpage ( http://ask.library.unlv.edu/) to get quick help from one of the library staff.
Each database or search tool has a different set of items contained within it, and you will want to consider what words the author may have used (e.g. air pollution, or air quality?) Use quotation marks around a specific phrase to search for exactly "state implementation plan" documents, as an example. Once you have your search results on screen, look for ways to limit the year or source type in your search results to clear away unwanted items.
You may also want to broaden your search to include items UNLV doesn't own - we can usually get you a copy. Look for options to "Add results beyond your library" or "UNLV find text". Try these options and see if you find useful items, and request the ones you like through interlibrary loan (http://guides.library.unlv.edu/interlibraryloan/ ) . In some cases, the full text of certain items may take a couple of days to reach you through an email request to an agency, or through an interlibrary loan request. Don't delay (the interlibrary loan service is free to you as a UNLV student), and ask a librarian for help if you can't find the full text of something!
