Finding articles

Best bets

  • Scopus
    Multidisciplinary database. Useful to see who has cited an article of interest on your topic
  • Compendex (Engineering Village)
    Covers all aspects of engineering. Check out the short video below on the basics of searching Compendex.

Additional databases

Most of the Library's licensed electronic resources, such as databases, full-text online journals and ebooks, are restricted to McGill students and staff. Find out about accessing the Library's online resources from on and off campus.

Interlibrary loan

  • Interlibrary Loan
    All McGill students and staff may order materials not available at McGill using Interlibrary Loan.

How to find articles and conference papers

Use research databases to find journal articles and conference papers on your topic. For example:

  • Search Compendex.
  • Search for: QFD optimizer
  • Find the article by Moscowitz, Herbert and Kim, Kwang-Jae:
    • "QFD optimizer: a novice friendly quality function deployment decision making support system for optimizing product designs" Computers and Industrial Engineering. v. 32 no 3, July 1997, p.641-655
  • Click on "Detailed"; read the abstract. [Clicking on the Main heading, Controlled terms, and Uncontrolled terms links will give you more articles about those subjects.]
  • Click on the red McGill "Find Full Text" or the blue "Full text" link to search for the article online.
  • If you are not offered the article full-text, then search the library catalogue. If the library does not subscribe to the journal, then get it on Interlibrary Loan (ILL). There are no charges for ILL; McGill subsidizes this service.
