Library Buildings & Hours

You are likely to probably depend on the Science Library (SL) for most of your needs in the life sciences, physical sciences, information sciences, engineering & technology, clinical and health sciences  and to a lesser extent on the Langson Library (LL) for resources in business/management, social & behavioral sciences, arts, letters & literature, Government Information, however you may on occasion have to use the and perhaps the Grunigen Medical Library (GML) for clinical and other medical resources, but you can request that those materials either be scanned (journal articles) or sent to the Main Campus for your pickup.  There is also the Gateway Study Center for all-night studying.  Consult Library Hours before visiting.

The Department focuses on foundations in computer science that include algorithms, data structures, artificial intelligence, machine learning, database systems, networked systems, programming languages, digital logic, operating systems, compilers, and computer architecture.  Related to the library resources to support this program is the Subject Page for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) in the Samueli School of Engineering.

All new affiliates of ICS should consider the following:

  1. Create an ORCID ID
  2. Learn about Overleaf Professional, a LaTeX writing tool

Evaluating Information

When using Online or Internet Resources, consider Search Engines vs. metasites - evaluate resource - consider domain - .edu, .com, .gov, .org, etc.

Thinking Critically about World Wide Web Resources - or Evaluation Techniques for Internet Resources

  1. Authority control - authorship - who, affiliation, where
  2. Currency - note the date, the update, does it reflect the right period of time
  3. Evaluate the source - establish criteria that is meaningful to covering the topic
  4. Citing Internet resources - URL & date of the search
  5. Capturing and citing
  6. Copying
