If you want to use Google Scholar as one of your search tools, the document below describes how to update the Google Scholar settings to tie it to the subscriptions you have access to through UNLV and other libraries.
A database is an organized collection of information, data, or citations stored in electronic format. You can use the databases below to search for engineering and computer science resources (newspaper, journal, or magazine articles; e-books; patents; conference proceedings; datasets; and more). Hover over the database title to see a description of what each database offers. Since each database includes a different set resources, searching more than one database can help you to find additional information. If you need more help, Ask A Librarian.
