A brief video explaining the advantages of library databases, and how to get to them. Also available via this link.
Recommended databases for finding articles on software engineering include:
ACM Digital Library: A research, discovery and networking platform containing:
IEEE Xplore: A vast research platform containing full text of all IEEE journals, conferences, and specifications and specialty journals such as the Bell Labs Technical Journal. Computer science along with biomedical research, robotics, AI, and other fields related to computer science are covered in Xplore.
Google Scholar: An uncurated collection of scholarly publications with undefined collection boundaries but often very useful in identifying a complete citation or providing full text of an article to which TCNJ does not access.
