USING THE ONLINE CATALOG

Books - You may use the online catalog [http://library.ua.edu] to obtain the location and call number of print books in the UA Libraries. The catalog will also tell you if UA Libraries has a license for an electronic book. You may search by Book title, Book author or editor (last name first), Keyword, Subject heading, and other options.

Journal title - You may also search the online catalog by the title of the journal to determine whether the library has a subscription to the journal title, electronically or in print; and which years of a journal title are available electronically and which years are available in print.

UA Theses - You may also use the online catalog to locate UA Master's and Ph. D. theses by searching as an Author the following: university of alabama. dept of (name here).

Click below for lists of UA theses awarded in computer science, including earlier department name.
UA master's and Ph. D. theses in computer science, or computer science and operations research (earlier name)
   Display long/detailed form of each entry to view notes field indicating master's thesis or Ph. D. thesis.

Full texts of many University of Alabama dissertations and theses published from 1996 to the present are available in electronic format to UA faculty, staff, and students, in the Dissertations & Theses @ the University of Alabama database. The database Dissertations & Theses includes full text of many universities' dissertations and/or the first 24 pages of the dissertations, most beginning with 1996.

STANDARDS

Standards are documents which describe how materials and products should be designed, manufactured, defined, measured, or tested. Standards are used in engineering to establish product quality and safety requirements, and to allow compatibility of parts or products from different sources. The sources below provide information on standards for computer science and software engineering.
