 === Article Citation Databases ===

-  * [[http://www.library.yorku.ca/eresolver/?id=437|Web of Science]] - very good coverage of all major computing journals, good for citation searches.
+  * [[http://www.library.yorku.ca/e/resolver/id/1518676|ACM Digital Library]] - a good source for citations for major publishers in computing.
-  * [[http://www.library.yorku.ca/eresolver/?id=1194128|Scopus]] - both references and citations.
+  * [[http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/|DBLP]] - another source of citations for major computer science journals and proceedings.
-  * [[http://portal.acm.org/guide.cfm?coll=portal&amp;dl=GUIDE&amp;CFID=15590639&amp;CFTOKEN=82226420|ACM Guide to Computing Literature]] - another one focusing on computing.
+  * [[http://www.library.yorku.ca/eresolver/?id=437|Web of Science]] - a multidisciplinary database with very good coverage of all major computing journals. Good for citation searches.
-  * **Very important:** look in full text article databases for conference proceedings:
+  * [[http://www.library.yorku.ca/eresolver/?id=1194128|Scopus]] - another multidisciplinary database.
-    * IEEE, ACM or Lecture Notes in Computer Science: look in DBs below.
+  * **Very important:** it can be tricky to locate the full text of conference proceedings and grey literature. Try the following steps:
-    * SPIE: keyword search in catalogue: SPIE and proceeding number.
+    * Try the Get It @ York button (if it is available in the database you are using).
-    * Other: keyword search with part of title.
+    * [[http://subjectguides.uwaterloo.ca/content.php?pid=108720&sid=835538|Decipher the citation]]. Make sure you can tell the authors, titles, dates, and publishers apart.
-    * Last resort: 50-75% of conference papers usually on author's home pages  (note, however, that this may not be the final version of the paper).
+    * Search [[http://scholar.google.ca/|Google Scholar]] using the title of the paper.
+    * Search the [[http://www.library.yorku.ca/web/|catalogue]] for the title of the proceeding.
+    * Search full text article databases (see the list below) using the title of the paper or the title of the proceeding.
+    * Search [[http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/index;jsessionid=4AE07901C99E5D22D2CD99A809467F48|CiteSeerX]], which indexes the scientific literature in computer and information science, using the title of the paper or the title of the proceeding.
+    * Use [[http://www.library.yorku.ca/web/ask-services/borrow-renew-return/racer-interlibrary-loan/|RACER Interlibrary Loan]] to request the item from another library. This process can take up to two weeks or more.
