What’s in the databases you’re searching?

• IEEE Xplore– Mostly IEEE-published articles/papers– Recent IET journals (2007-present)– IBM Journal of Research & Development– AIP (Applied Physics Letters, Journal of

Applied Physics, and others)

Page 32: Hacking the Library Tools, Tips, and Tricks to Find, Organize, and Keep Up to Date on Current Research in Your Field Janet Fransen Librarian for Computer.

What’s in the databases you’re searching?

• ACM– Full text: ACM publications– Citations: “Major publishers in

computing”– Load through the proxy and you’ll see

the Find It button on citations

Page 33: Hacking the Library Tools, Tips, and Tricks to Find, Organize, and Keep Up to Date on Current Research in Your Field Janet Fransen Librarian for Computer.

What’s in the databases you’re searching?

• Google Scholar– We don’t know, but a lot– Many publishers’ databases (Elsevier,

IEEE, etc.)– Institutional Repositories (University

Digital Conservancy)– Upside is breadth, downside is precision

Page 34: Hacking the Library Tools, Tips, and Tricks to Find, Organize, and Keep Up to Date on Current Research in Your Field Janet Fransen Librarian for Computer.

What’s in the databases you’re searching?

• Engineering Village (Compendex/Inspec)– General engineering, computer science,

and physics– Articles and conference papers, less

gray literature than Google Scholar– Allows for more precise search

Page 35: Hacking the Library Tools, Tips, and Tricks to Find, Organize, and Keep Up to Date on Current Research in Your Field Janet Fransen Librarian for Computer.

What’s in the databases you’re searching?

• Web of Science– Wide range of science disciplines– Mostly published articles, not technical

reports or conference papers– Precise search, plus who’s-citing-whom

analysis tools

Standards

Page 39: Hacking the Library Tools, Tips, and Tricks to Find, Organize, and Keep Up to Date on Current Research in Your Field Janet Fransen Librarian for Computer.

Standards

• Some cataloged, most not• Check Jon’s page first, shelves at

Walter second– Call the reference desk and we’ll look for

you

• If we don’t have it, ask Jon if he will order it for you
