Efficient and convenient searching for computer science material. How to Search This Database |
| INSPEC (engineering and physics) | Inspec, created by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, is the leading bibliographic database providing abstracts and indexing to the world's scientific and technical literature. Containing nearly 10 million records, Inspec provides coverage from over 3,800 journals, 3,000 conference proceedings as well as numerous books, dissertations, patents and reports. Inspec allows searching by keyword, author, author's affiliation, Inspec headings, Inspec classification codes and titles, and more. Coverage runs back to the mid-1960's with select coverage back to 1949.
For full coverage of materials published prior to 1968, please refer to the Science Abstracts. Section A, Physics (vol. 10-43, 1907-1940), Science Abstracts. Series A, Physics Abstracts (vol. 44-68, 1941-1965), Science Abstracts. Series B, Electrical Engineering Abstracts (vol. 66-68, 1963-1965) and Science Abstracts. Physics Abstracts (vol. 69, 1966) located in REFERENCE AISLE 6A on the 2nd floor of the library. How to Search This Database |
