Computer and Applied Science Complete (CASC) covers the research and development spectrum of the computing and applied sciences disciplines. It contains collected knowledge on traditional engineering challenges and research, and is a resource for research concerning the business and social implications of new technology.
CASC provides indexing and abstracts for more than 2,100 academic journals, professional publications, and other reference sources from a diverse collection. full-text is also available for more than 1,000 periodicals. Subject areas include the many engineering disciplines, computer theory and systems, new technologies, and social & professional context. Research is aided by the inclusion of searchable cited references for key journals.
Covers topics such as computer science, programming, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, information systems, robotics, and software. Many full-text titles are available in native (searchable) PDF, or scanned-in-color. Full-text information in this database dates as far back as 1985.
NOTE: OhioLINK cancelled the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) as of December 31, 2024. We will continue to have access to previously-purchased e-journal content at the EJC. Also, open access content at ACM’s site will continue to be available. Users may encounter content in this database the library has not purchased.
Also contains "The Guide" (know as the ACM Guide to Computing Literature), a more comprehensive computer science database that contains over 600,000 citations. Materials in the guide are from ACM and additional publishers, and not all are available via full text.
Applied Science and Technology full-text contains indexing and abstracts for English-language, scientific and technical publications back to 1983.
Content includes coverage of a wide variety of applied science specialties—acoustics to aeronautics, neural networks to nuclear and civil engineering, computers and informatics and much more—from leading trade and industrial journals, professional and technical society journals, specialized subject periodicals, buyers’ guides, directories and conference proceedings.
Use the Find It! Button
Some databases include the full text of the articles described in the them. However, many databases do not. When the database does not have the full text of an article, you should see a Find It button like the one above.
Clicking this button runs a search through other databases that Miami subscribes to looking for the full text. A new tab will open with availability info:
If a different database has the full text, you will see a link to it
If there is no full text link on the new tab, you should see a link to a service called interlibrary loan (ILL). After you fill out the linked form, library staff will get a copy of the article from another library for you. This can take several days, however, so if you need the article right away, it is not a good option for you.
