Finding Asme Technical Papers
Scott Curtis · 2020
A wealth of information relevant to current engineering research exists in the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME) papers.Librarians can encounter frustration in finding ASME papers due to poor quality citation information from the patrons, incomplete indexing by bibliographic database vendors, and the many journals, transactions, conference books and individual papers where these papers were published.In addition, ASME utilized an inconsistent and confusing numbering system that changed over time.Libraries and librarians developed finding aids to assist in tracking down this material within their collections.This presentation, intended for the Engineering Libraries Division's Basics Boot Camp session, will review how to address patron requests for ASME information in a systematic way, using both computer-based indexes and print resources.
