Fogler Guide to Computer Science
|
The following are selected resources that are available at Fogler Library
or on the Internet. If you have questions about finding information
related to Computer Science, please contact the Science and Engineering
Center: 581-1691 or email Martin Wallace. Or use our
Ask a
Librarian service.
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.
