If you find a physical book, it will have something called a call number. The call number is like its home address. Copy and paste any call number into the Call Number Locator below to see where it lives in the library.
A call number will look something like this:
SF408.3 .E84 1995
Most engineering books are found in the T section of the library. Other relevant call numbers include:
QA - Mathematics
QB - Astronomy
QC - Physics
QE - Geology
VM - Marine engineering
GC - Oceanography
GE - Environmental sciences
Yes! While books are not as frequently used in the sciences as journal articles are, they still hold valuable and often necessary information. Engineers use reference books, textbooks, project descriptions, and interdisciplinary case studies and connections to the real world.
Try writing down a list of various keywords on your subject, and search them all in different combinations of one or two at a time - you'll get VERY different results - and you'll be glad you took the time to do so!
