Searching Tips
Journals are collections of articles that are published on a regular basis to report current research within a discipline. Use keywords, phrases, titles or authors or use Boolean operators (AND, OR, or, NOT) to construct a more complex query. Refine using these filters to narrow or expand your results most related to your topic. Keywords: Computer Architecture, Engineering, Science, Tachnology etc.

Use our Web Discovery service to search articles from databases subscribed by the LUMS Library. Keywords: Computer Architecture , Engineering, CS, Physics etc.
