Computer Science Reference Guide
These are starting points for Computer Science research at the Davidson
Library. If you need further assistance, ask a reference librarian at the 2nd
floor Sciences Engineering Library (SEL) Reference Desk or at the 1st Floor
Reference/Information Desk.
To Find BooksUse Pegasus
and MELVYLŪ, the library catalogs, to find books
at UCSB and at other UC campuses.
The Pegasus System contains records of
books and journals in the UCSB Library. Pegasus includes circulation
information, journal holdings, and in-process books.
MELVYL contains
cataloged resources from throughout the UC system.
