EIS: Digests of Environmental Impact Statements is a subfile of Environmental Sciences and Pollution Management Abstracts.

Features a collection of seven independently searchable databases: Compendex for abstracts and links to full-text articles in engineering journals; Inspec, an index to research literature in the fields of physics, electronics, computing, control engineering, and information technology; Esp@cenet for patent information from the European Patent Office and the World Intellectual Property Organization; and USPTO for patents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Indexes and abstracts over 900 U.S. and international journals covering the impact of people and technology on the environment and the effectiveness of remedial policies and technologies. Also includes conference papers and proceedings, special reports from international agencies, non-governmental organizations, universities, associations, and private corporations. Expanded coverage of energy-related issues is available beginning in 1994

IEEE Smart Grid Research consists of five Technology Bundles of reports in the areas of Computing, Communications, Control Systems, Power, Vehicular Technology created by IEEE experts. Each Bundle includes a Long-term Vision 2050 document, Reference Model, and Roadmap covering potential use cases, application scenarios, enabling technologies, projections for smart grid evolution, technology challenges and opportunities, and areas where additional research is needed.

Provides full-text journal articles, conference papers, and technical standards published by IEEE and the IEE. Emphasis is on electrical engineering, computer science, and information systems. Watch the IEEE Xplore Video Tutorial
