When you write your project- or Master's thesis, you have to search for various types of literature. Some relevant sources are listed below. The list is not exhaustive, so you may also need to consult other sources:
- NTNU University Library. From this page you have access to a wide range of books, databases, journals, and so on.
- ScienceDirect. This is a database of scientific articles published by Elsevier. When you are using a computer at NTNU (with an NTNU IP number), you will get full access to all articles (also in pdf format)
- Engineering Village. This database covers articles from many different publishers (see above)
- Google Scholar. This is similar to standard Google, but limited to scholarly items.
- Google Books. This site contains a very high number of books which you can read on the screen. All books are not complete and several pages may be missing.
- Knovel. This is a database containing a wide range of textbooks. As long as you access Knovel from an NTNU computer, you have full access.
- OnePetro. Literature related to the oil and gas industry.
How to find standards

- You have to access the standards from a computer with NTNU IP-number (or by using VPN)
- Go to the NTNU library website: http://www.ntnu.edu/ub - You need to use a browser where Adobe Reader or Acrobat has been set up as default pdf-reader (Safari with Preview on a Mac will normally not function)
