Electrical and Computer Engineering

A guide to library research for upper level undergraduates and graduate students in electrical and computer engineering.

Engineering Books

Engineering books are available through the library in two formats: e-books which can be read online through the library website, and physical books which are shelved in Campbell Library on the fourth floor in the "T" section. 

This page explains various ways to find library books.

Locating and borrowing electrical engineering books

Books available for borrowing by students and faculty are available on the 4th floor of Campbell Library. The primary area to browse for electrical engineering is the TK section. You may also wish to look in QA (Mathematics and Computer Science) and QC (Physics).

Once you have located the book you need, take it to the first floor service desk to check it out with your Rowan card.
