Compendex - Coverage included journal articles and conference papers. Search by author , title words of the journal article or conference paper, keywoods, or subject terms. You may search from 1970 to the present in Compendex , however, it is recommended that you search in IEL from 1988 to the present as the full text of the journal articles, conference papers and standards are in this database. The CAT provides access to entire items. Search by book title, author or editor, or journal title.
Conferences are more challenging.
Conference searching gives additional hints. Remember, if the conference is published in 1988 or later, it will probably be in the IEL in full text. Examples include IEEE Spectrum, IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity , etc. However, indexes and bibliographies may or may not include the IEEE in the beginning of the title.
