Computer Science E-Resources Online Guide

  • Finding articles - Databases are useful to identify articles in journals, papers in conference proceedings, chapters in books, reports and reviews. This are also known as Index and Abstract. It will provide citations (the source of the article), abstracts (brief descriptions of the article’s content) or full text articles (the article in its entirety). Review articles from databases summarize the current state of research on a subject by organizing, synthesizing, and critically evaluating the relevant literature written for specialists. The bibliography in a review article is usually exhaustive.
  • Encyclopedias & Dictionaries and Handbooks provide background information, definitions and explanations of terms. Because of the nature of computer science, many paper versions of these materials get out of date quickly. Some online resources from societies and institutes are listed here instead.
