ACM Guide to
Computing Literature: go to ACM
portal
Inspec: very
large online database (1969- ) including Computer & Control Abstracts,
Electrical & Electronics Abstracts, Physics Abstracts, and Information
Technology. Indexes scientific and technical journals and conference
proceedings, but not ACM conferences. Options
for access to Inspec.
MathSci:
online version of Mathematical Reviews, which covers some computer science
conference papers. Searchable via MathSciNet.
ResearchIndex
(CiteSeer):
free, full-text index to freely available research articles on the web.
This index is popular with computer scientists because a great deal
of CS literature is available this way, and because ResearchIndex also
provides citation analysis. Web of Science doesn't index conference
papers (a mainstay in computer science), but ResearchIndex does (if
the proceedings are on the web for free). It also offers reference linking,
extraction of citation context, related document detection and the BibTeX
entry for each article.
Science
Citation Index (ISI's Web of Science): a major web-based service
covering 5,700 journals in science and over 2,000 in other disciplines.
Special feature: search by cited reference (to find newer papers that
refer to an earlier known work).
Other options: for
information about General Science Index, and other multidisciplinary
science tools, consult the general
science page.
E-journal mega-lists:
MHC e-journal subscriptions
for access via our campus network:
Please search the
Online Library Catalog
by journal title if you are seeking a specific title. We are now cataloging
each e-journal to which we have subscribed or signed a license agreement.
You should find records there for both print and online journals. You
should also be able to connect directly to the e-journal.
Or try Five
College E-Journal Locator (SFX): identify e-journals held by
MHC and the Five Colleges. Note: This new service does not yet contain
all of our e-journal holdings, but it does search collections such as
Academic Search Premier, BioOne, JSTOR, etc. The "Citation Linker"
will go to the full-text of a specific article if you provide the exact
volume and page numbers.
Other E-Journals,
freely available, useful for MHC:
You can get SOME
e-journal content free without subscription. We have not cataloged these;
we do not know if they will remain free. Selected examples:
