Information Technology Papers and Reports

  • Computer Science Technical Reports - an index to computer science technical reports from selected sites on the Internet
  • Computing Research Repository (CoRR) - seeks to be the single repository to which researchers from the whole field of computer science will submit reports as a means of rapid dissemination of research results
  • E-print Network - E-prints are "scientific or technical documents circulated electronically to facilitate peer exchange and scientific advancement. Included are pre-publication drafts of journal articles (preprints), scholarly papers, technical communications, or similar documents relaying research results among peer groups."
    The E-print Network was developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and is a gateway to over 12,000 Web sites and databases worldwide, containing e-prints in basic and applied sciences, primarily in physics but also including subject areas such as computer and information technologies, and other disciplines of interest to DOE.
  • TechRepublic White Papers - ITpapers offers users access to more than 23,000 white papers and other documents related to information technology. A White Paper is an informational brief offering an overview of a technology, product, issue, standard, policy, or solution. Holdings here are divided into ten categories, including Corporate Computing, Internet, Software, Hardware, Security, and more. Users must register to view content.
  • EECS Technical Reports - Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) is a collection of computer science research reports, theses, preprints and papers made available for non-commercial use from a number of participating institutions and archives
  • ArXiv.org - arXiv is an e-print service in the fields of physics, mathematics, non-linear science, computer science, and quantitative biology
  • Dell White Papers
  • IBM White Papers
