Welcome

Welcome to the WCU Library Services guide to research resources in Computer Science - from WCU Library and beyond.

This page includes

  • PILOT library catalog
  • E-books
  • Databases listed by name
    Once you know which database is best for your research topic, direct searches allow you to take advantage of the database's unique characteristics.  Some databases are very specific to computer science (e.g. IEEE Computer Society Digital Library) while others, such as Academic Search Complete include articles from all disciplines.
  • Streaming Video
  • New Books (& videos) list - new titles owned by WCU Libraries, including print and online format.
  • User feedback box - let me know what you think.  Do you have suggestions for additional content/links?

See the tab above for > Journals & Websites related to Computer Science.

Please contact me (info at right -->) if you have suggestions for other additions to this guide.  As a resource for a community of learners, this guide will benefit from the combined expertise of all!
