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.

Electronic Resources page
2. Go to Electronic Resources Help page

3. Click on
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.
