Databases

The library's databases page can be found on the library's website by clicking on Databases. It is organized two ways: by subject and alphabetical by title.

To browse through the databases by subject, click on drop-down menu. Many databases relevant to CS students can be found under "Science/Engineering".

Of the over 2 dozen databases in this category, you have already gotten to know the two e-book databases, Books 24x7 and Safari Tech Books Online. Your professors have probably also told you about ACM and IEEE. There are two other databases that you will find useful:

  • Applied Science Full Text
  • Compendex (Engineering Village 2)

The demonstration below uses Applied Science Full Text to show how a typical database search is conducted. When you use other databases, you will see variations in their search capabilities.
