If you see this icon next to the record for a journal article in one of our databases, click on it to see if the full-text is available online through the library. If there is no full-text available, SULinks will also allow you to check the catalog for print holdings, or request your article through interlibrary loan.

Google Scholar misses a lot of important publications, and retrieves a lot of irrelevant and redundant material, but it's great for a quick and dirty search for something very specific

     The world's best indexes to the EECS literature:

• Inspec
  Produced by the IET in the UK, Inspec covers physics, electrical engineering, electronics, computer science, control engineering and information technology. Records from 1896. Updated weekly. NOTE: The "SULinks" icon in Inspec will directly to SU Library online journals, but not to conference papers. Use the yellow "Full Text" icon to link to our conference papers from IEEE/IET etc.
