DATABASES

Databases are excellent sources of good quality information. Below are a range of databases relevant to Electronic Engineering and Computer Science.

  • ACM Digital Library: the full-text of every article published by the Association for Computing Machinery. A Video tutorial is available.
  • AES E-Library: the full-text of Audio Engineering Society publications (1950-). A temporary off-campus password is available in the ‘Access’ page.
  • IEEE Xplore Digital Library: full-text collection of all journals and conference proceedings published by the IEEE and IET since 1988 (some earlier material), as well as current IEEE standards and Wiley-IEEE e-books. See online tutorials. If you have issues logging in try our password page.
  • Lecture Notes in Computer Science: A full-text collection which includes the latest research developments in all areas of computer science.
  • Scopus: Multi-disciplinary database containing the citations and abstracts of peer-reviewed literature. This database lists the number of times a work has been cited in other works and provides direct links to the abstracts of citing works. Access to full-text subscription content where available at QMUL Library via the "library- check full text" button.

  • Oxford Reference: An online resource that brings together two million digitized entries from OUP's Dictionaries, Companions and Encyclopedias. Good for checking a fact or finding key information on a person, concept or term.
  • SAGE Research Methods: A database dedicated to research methods across a range of subject areas. SAGE Research Methods supports research at all levels by providing material to guide users through every step of the research process, from writing a research question, conducting a literature review, choosing the best research methods, analysing data, to writing up results and thinking about publication.
  • Statista: Provides statistical data from a wide range of international sources on populations, industries, economics, media, public opinion, companies, politics, lifestyles, and many other topics.

The databases listed above are only a small part of the database collections at Queen Mary.
