We also have databases arranged by other subjects and categories you may want to check out:
On the other tabs in this box, you'll find additional resources to help you locate materials both in the physical library and online.
Kemp Library maintains subscriptions to a number of journals related to the study of computer science. You can search for journals and journal articles through both the Primo Library Catalog and the A-Z Databases page. Below are direct links to some of the journals you might find especially useful for your research:
In addition to subscription journals, many high-quality open access journals in the field are freely available online. A good sources for finding open access journals and articles is the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Here are direct links to a few of the open access journals you might find useful:
If you notice your results all have similar call numbers, browse the section to see if any of our other books might help you. Below are the Computer Science numbers, they are all on the ground floor (with the cow).
000 - Computer Science, Information, and General Works
003 - Systems
004 - Computer Science
005 - Computer Programming
006 - Special Computer Methods
For more information on call numbers you can look at this LibGuide.
If you're having trouble locating an item, please refer to the Library Map LibGuide.
A subject heading is a phrase used to describe content or subject matter. Subject headings are uniform vocabulary and follow a classification system and structure. Library of Congress Headings will usually look like this (visible in item records):
Computer security
Hacktivism
Programming languages (Electronic computers)
Clicking on any of the subject headings will lead to more items in the same category. Because subject headings are applied to an item by cataloging experts, they are a useful way to find items on your topic.
