Introduction
Quick start for awesome links on your topic
This guide provides computer science/engineering majors, graduate students and faculty with links to some of the more relevant library and internet resources available to you at ASU.
The SIDE HEADINGS on this guide include:
Keeping Current shows how to set up alerts and RSS feeds in your favorite journals and indexing services so you're automatically notified of newly published material and don't have to remember to manually search these resources regularly.
Literature Review is a how-to approach to writing an in-depth lit review for a dissertation, thesis, grant application or lengthy term paper, including tips on determining the scope of the paper, search strategy, and appropriate types of resources.
Resources is organized by the type of resource: books, journals & conferences, associations and organizations, dictionaries, standards, and technical reports; on each sub-section, we'll link you to the best library and internet resources for that document type.
Writing & Citing contains information on writing in STEM subject areas and on citation style guides and management.
Research Data Management
What is data management and why is it important? The answers to these questions are explained in this tutorial.
Once you've completed the tutorial, take a look at the LibGuide for Research Data Management and Sharing and find out how ASU can help you get started.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
