INDEXES & DATABASES

These resources should be utilized to locate citations for journal articles, conference papers, dissertations, and technical reports related to computer science. After using these sources, search URSUS by journal title or conference title to determine if Fogler Library owns the needed materials. We may own journals in print or online or both formats. Need to check the record listed as Serials (for print holdings) and E-Serials (for electronic holdings). Must click on the "Restricted Access UM" link to see the online holdings. If we do not own the item you need, consider requesting through Interlibrary Loan. Remember most of the articles listed in these databases cannot be located by using a regular web browser such as Google. These databases provide the means to locating scholarly research articles.
