Books 24x7
Books 24x7 is a database of over 4,500 E-books covering computer science and information technology from more than 80 publishers, including MIT Press, Que, Microsoft Press, and many more. This resource is great for finding programming how-to books and technical manuals for network administration, operating systems, database management, and other IT topics. Use the My Bookshelf feature to save a list of books or book chapters you have been using, so you can easily pick up where you left off during your previous sessions.
CiteSeer
CiteSeer is a scientific literature digital library focusing on computer and information science. CiteSeer provides citation indexing for each article, which allows you to see (a) all the references cited by the article, and (b) what other articles have cited the article.
Computer and Information Systems Abstracts
Provides comprehensive indexing of academic literature related to computer and information science from 1981-present, including journals, conference proceedings, technical reports, trade journal/newsletter items, patents, and books. Major subject areas covered: artificial intelligence, applications, programming, hardware, information systems, mathematics of computing, and software engineering.
CoRR - Computing Research Repsoitory
An online repository of research papers and reports (mostly e-prints, which are generally advance copies of papers and articles that have not yet been published in academic journals) in computer science. Sponsored by the ACM, arXiv.org, and NCSTRL. Papers can be searched or browsed for based on subject area, title, author, or keywords in the full abstracts.
Inspec
Inspec, created by the IEE (Institution of Electrical Engineers), is the leading bibliographic database providing abstracts and indexing to the world's scientific and technical papers in physics, electrical engineering, electronics, communications, control engineering, computing, information technology, manufacturing, production and mechanical engineering. INSPEC also provides significant coverage in related disciplines such as materials science, oceanography, nuclear engineering, geophysics, biomedical engineering and many more. This database indexes ACM, IEEE, and SIAM publications, so it's a good one-stop search interface.
MathSciNet
Provided by the American Mathematical Society, MathSciNet is a searchable database of the world's scholarly mathematical literature since 1940, including reviews, abstracts and bibliographic information.
SIAM Journals - Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
An online digital library of publications of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, from 1997-present. Use the Advanced Search feature to search multiple titles simultaneously.
Web of Science
Web of Science provides access to current and retrospective multidisciplinary information from approximately 8,700 of the most prestigious, high-impact research journals in the world. Web of Science also provides a unique search method, cited reference searching. With it, you can navigate forward, backward, and through the literature, searching all disciplines and time spans to uncover all the information relevant to your research. The citation index allows you to see (a) all the references cited by the article, and (b) what other articles have cited the article. This is a good database to use if you have an article of interest and want to expand your search to related documents. Links to related articles are provided.
