Articles

To find articles in journals, magazines or newspapers, you will need to search a periodical index or database. Some databases provide access to the complete article. Other databases will provide a citation to the journal, newspaper or magazine. If the article is not available full-text, write down the citation and search for the title in our catalog. If you can't find a journal you are looking for in our serials lists, request the article from InterLibrary Loan.

PrePrints and Technical Reports

Computer Science research relies on the rapid dissemination of results. The formal, slow process of submitting papers to scholarly journals has been augmented by other, more rapid, dissemination methods. Searching for conference proceedings, preprints and technical reports is one method of finding cutting-edge computer science research.
