Subject guide for Electrical and Computer Engineering

On this page you will find a selection of resources within the fields of electrical and computer engineering. You are welcome to contact us at AU Library, Katrinebjerg and AU Library, Birk Centerpark if you need help. 

Article databases

  • Engineering Village - Compendex 
    Articles covering all engineering fields. Some articles are online, others can be ordered from the library.
  • ACM Digital Library
    ACM Digital Library consists of two separate databases which cannot be searched simultaneously.
    ACM Digital Library - journals published by ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) since 1947, with full-text access, as well as
    Guide to Computing Literature - a bibliography with references and abstracts of articles, conference contributions, etc., from both ACM and a wide range of other publishers. Not everything can be found in full-text, but the majority of the journal articles are available in full, either via a link to a PDF or DOI.
  • ScienceDirect
    Full-text articles from 1995 and onward from Elsevier. Covers all topics, but you have the possibility of limiting your search to engineering subjects. You can order copies of articles from before 1995 at the library.
  • IEEE / IET Electronic Library (IEL)
    Articles within electrical engineering, electronics, ICT, computer science, computing and more. IEEE also includes all valid AIEE, ANSI and ANSI/IEEE standards.
  • Web of Science
    Web of Science (WoS) is an article database and citation index with references to articles covering all subjects.
  • Scopus
    Article database and citation index covering all subjects. The Scopus research database indexes more journals than any other database. Some articles are online, others can be ordered from the library.
  • Google Scholar 
    E-books, e-journals, theses, preprints, patents and reports. In addition, references to articles, books and theses. Google Scholar covers all topics, but please note that you are searching through material of very mixed quality, of which much is not published in a scientific publication.
  • Emerald
    References to articles on all topics. Many articles are available in full-text. Those for which there is no electronic access to, copies can be ordered from the library.
  • SpringerLink
    Artikler i fuldtekst fra 1995 og frem, samt henvisninger til artikler. SpringerLink dækker alle emner. Adgang via AU’s netværk eller VPN.

Reference works

  • A Dictionary of Computing
    A reference work with more than 6,000 entries on theories, software, IT, etc.
  • A Dictionary of the Internet
    More than 4,000 entries on terms related to the Internet: software, infrastructure, jargon, e-commerce, etc.
  • A Dictionary of Statistics
    Covers all topics within the field of statistics, including terms used in computing, mathematics, operational research, and probability, as well as biographical information and coverage of statistical journals and societies.
  • Wikibooks: Computer science bookshelf
    Deals with the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems.
  • Ordbogen.com
    Collection of dictionaries which contains Ordbogen.com and Gyldendals Ordbøger. The collection of dictionaries covers a large number of subject areas and languages. The list of all relevant dictionaries is obtained when you search a word.
