Databases

IEEE Xplore

IEEE has the best resources in this field of study. However, they usually cover very advanced topics and technical materials. Note: the wildcard characters in this database are * for 0-many, and ? for exactly 1.

Compendex (aka Engineering Index)

This is the most comprehensive index for engineering. However, it covers all aspects of engineering, so some of the items you find in here may not be specific to your field of computer science. Note: the wildcard characters in this database are * for 0-many, and ? for exactly 1.

Science Direct

Provides an index to all journals published by Elsevier. This is a good general purpose database, containing articles from a large variety of subject areas. However, it is not confined to computer science/engineering. Also, there are many quality publication in the areas of computer science and engineering that are not (yet ;) published by Elsevier. Note: the wildcard characters in this database are * for 0-many, and ? for exactly 1.

The ACM Guide to Computing Literature

This index covers publications of the ACM, IEEE, Elsevier, you name it, just about all the major publishers and producers of information regarding computers and computing. You may need to look up the article's course in the Library Catalog if the ACM Guide doesn't provide a direct link to the publisher site. And, just because a link is there doesn't mean Kresge Library has access to the electronic version. You may need to make an Interlibrary Loan request for the item. Note: the wildcard character in this database is * for 0-many.

Applied Science & Technology Abstracts

This database doesn't have the breadth of many of the others listed here, but it's always a good place to double check. Note: the wildcard characters in this database are * for 0-many, # for exactly 1, and ? for 0-9.

Course Reserves:

Your materials will most likely be electronic course reserves, located here: Electronic Course Reserves

But every so often you might need to check and see if there is a print item on reserve at the library's circualtion desk, which you can verify here: Print Course Reserves
