Journals, Magazines & Reference Materials

Printed journals are available in R3-3. You can browse through at ease.

Some journals are available in CD-ROMs. The CD-ROM discs are available from the Librarian. You will need to ask the librarian for the CDs and leave your Student ID behind. Results and articles from a standalone CD-ROM search can be printed out onto online printer or saved to a pen drive.

Sample journals: IEEE Computer, IEEE Software, Intelligent Computing, IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology.

The Reference collection consisting of dictionaries, yearbooks, conference proceedings, and other key general reference resources, are kept on a separate section in R3-3 and R3-4A.

Useful dictionaries are:
• Dictionary of Computing
• Dictionary of Science & Technology
