CIS 573: Software Engineering / CIT 595: Digital System Organization & Design Course Guide

Use the Library's E-Resources tool to Select by Interest: "Computers & Electronics" or "Cognitive Sciences & Information Sciences". Then explore the tabs! (You may also find General Business useful.)

Note: Penn Libraries has implemented a middleware product called SFX which is designed to link to the full text of these articles, when available. When there is no electronic full text, you will have the option to launch a search in Penn's library catalog, Franklin, to see if the journal is held in print at a Penn Library. Finally, if it is not held in print, you will have the option to request the article via Interlibrary Loan. In some databases the link may say PennText and in others SFX.
