This guide was designed by Ken Frankel to help identify resources on Computer Science and Engineering and related topics in the FAU Boca Raton Library. The electronic resources are available from the FAU Libraries home page (http://www.fau.edu/library) by following the links entitled “Indexes/ Databases” or “Articles.” Some of these resources have full-text articles available online. To access these resources from off campus, use the “EZ Proxy” link and log in using your 14-digit Owl Card number. For further assistance, please contact the Reference Desk by telephone (561-297-3785) or e-mail (lyref@fau.edu).
