Subject Databases

The databases that are most relevant to Geomatics and Spatial Information Sciences are listed first. You will be required to use your DIT password to access these databases. For a limited number of databases passwords must be obtained from DIT librarians.

A listing cannot be made of the actual journals contained in each database because this changes too frequently. Use of the search tools within the databases, once you have chosen one, is the most efficient method of finding relevant research and publications.

ULRICHSWEB A database to search to find out which other database/publication resource provides access to a given journal/periodical title
Science Direct Science direct is the world's largest electronic collection of science, technology and medicine, as well as surveying & remote sensing, full-text and bibliographic information
Directory of Open Access Journals Search 2905 journals from one site. Relevance to surveying, GI & remote sensing.
IngentaConnect 23,212,287 articles, chapters, reports and more. Relevance to surveying, GI & remote sensing.
Swetswise Relevance to surveying, GI & remote sensing. Can be limited to full text only search.
Engineering Village Covers the broad engineering areas of mechanical, civil, structural and manufacturing engineering as well as surveying & remote sensing.
