Research Resources: Subject Research Guides:
Computer Science

Computer science materials are mainly located at the Mathematical Sciences Library and the Library of Science and Medicine. Various items can also be found at Dana Library and Paul Robeson Library.

To locate books, journals and other resources in computer science within the Rutgers University Libraries, use IRIS, our online catalog. Use Indexes for Computer Science to find articles from selected journals and books. This page will lead to selected resource and research guides available on the Internet.

Indexes and Abstracts

Rutgers University Libraries databases are available on Libraries home page (http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu) under Indexes and Databases and can be accessed from on-campus computers. Rutgers current faculty, staff and students can access the databases off-campus via Remote Access.

ACM Digital Library (Rutgers Restricted)

Compendex also known as Engineering Index (Rutgers Restricted)

Computing Reviews (Rutgers Restricted)

IEEE Xplore (Rutgers Restricted)

INSPEC (Rutgers Restricted)

Web of Science (Rutgers Restricted) includes Science Citation Index.

Google Scholar (available to all) http://scholar.google.com
- Google Scholar is a free database on the web and provides access to many full-text articles, especially when you access Google Scholar from a computer with Rutgers IP address. It enables users to search articles from many academic publishers and preprint repositories. The "citations citing" feature is similar to Science Citation Index in Web of Science. Google Scholar should be used as a supplement for Web of Science.

CiteSeer^x also known as Scientific Literature Digital Library and Search Engine (available to all) http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu
- CiteSeer uses search engines and crawling to locate papers on the Web. It also provides a list of most cited authors and articles.

Rexa (available to all. First-time registration required.) http://rexa.info
- developed by the members of the Information Extraction and Synthesis Laboratory at the Department of Computer Science, University of Massachusetts, Rexa is a digital library and search engine covering the computer science research literature and the people who create it.

TechXtra (available to all)
- TechXtra is a search engine for computing, mathematics, and engineering. It searches 31 different collections for articles, books, Web sites, industry news, job announcements, technical reports, technical data, full text eprints, the latest research, and teaching and learning resources. TechXtra includes content from over 50 publishers and providers.

Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies created by Alf-Christian Achilles (available to all) http://liinwww.ira.uka.de/bibliography/index.html

DBLP Computer Science Bibliography (available to all) http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db

Full-text Resources

Important online full-text resources include ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore (see above). Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) (1997-present) is also available on the web via SpringerLink. (http://link.springer.de/link/service/series/0558/tocs.htm)

E-books: Some popular computer science books published by companies such as MIT Press, McGraw-Hill, O'Reilly, Sams Publishing and John Wiley are available via NetLibrary and MyiLibrary in e-books format. E-books are electronic replica of print monographs. Pages or chapters from e-books are available for printing. To access NetLibrary, either search the title in IRIS, or go to IRIS and type the word "netlibrary". You will get a list of titles in the NetLibrary collection. Titles from MyiLibrary will be available in IRIS in the near future.

E-journals: Rutgers University Libraries carries an extensive collection of journals in Computer Science. Most computer science journals are located at the Mathematical Sciences Library. A few of them are kept at LSM. Many journals are available online and can be accessed through IRIS, our online catalog (http://www.iris.rutgers.edu). If the journal title is not found in IRIS, then check the A-Z list under electronic journal lists (http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/rul/rr_gateway/ejournals/ejournals.shtml).
