Periodical Articles and Conference Papers
New developments and current research are often first presented as conference papers and/or periodical articles. The following are indexes, abstracts or full-text repositories which access this literature:
- ACM Digital LibraryA repository of materials published by ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, this database includes the full text of journal, magazine, transactions, and conference proceedings titles; ACM materials will display the ACM logo to the left of the citation.
- IEEE XploreThis repository contains full-text materials published by IEEE, the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers, and IET, the Institution of Engineering and Technology. The IEEE/IET Electronic Library (IEL) includes full-text access to IEEE Society-sponsored transactions and conference proceedings, IEEE/Wiley books, IET proceedings journals, IET conference proceedings and IEEE Standards.
- Google ScholarGoogle Scholar helps researchers find scholarly information on the Internet. Google is working with several publishers to access their databases of publications, plus searching sites known to include scholarly literature. Results include journal articles, theses, books, preprints, technical reports, and other publications.
- INSPEC (1898-current)INSPEC primarily covers periodical articles and conference papers (1898-current) but also includes some books, dissertations and reports. Over 4000 serials covering topics in electrical engineering, physics, computers and control are included.
- ScienceDirect (1997-current)Contains full-text articles from over 1700 journals published by Elsevier. Although the content is multi-disciplinary, the primary focus is science, engineering and medicine. Table of contents information is available for publication years before 1997.
- Web of Science (1900-current)This multi-disciplinary index includes article information from approximately 8,500 journals in sciences, engineering, social sciences, arts and humanities. A key feature of this index is the cited reference search, which searches for the articles that have cited a particular author’s work, or a specific article.
For product and industry news, try:
- Computer Source (1985-current)Find articles from computing and information technology publications in the areas of computer science, information systems, programming, robotics and software. Full-text from nearly 300 publications are included, with abstracting for 450 periodicals.
- Applied Science and Technology Source (1983-current w/abstracts since 1994)Best source for finding product reviews and news related (engineering) information. Indexes articles in 800 English-language periodicals.
Notes about Engineering Village
Compendex, Inspec and GEOBASE are searched jointly on the Engineering Village platform.
In the search results from these article databases, you may see an icon like this: 
This indicates the publisher is a member of a publisher and vendor group that cooperates in linking from references to full-text. IF the Library has access to the journal through the publisher, then you can access the article by clicking on the full-text icon. If it is not available through the full-text icon, then use the Find It button or the Journal Titles database to find out if it is available in another way.
