Overview of the printed and electronic resources in computer science.
Main content
The library holds many printed and electronic books, journals, theses, encylopedias and databases relevant for computer scientists. Use the blue search box above to search our literature (guidance here), and see below for direct links to article databases and reference works.
Library Services
As well as providing literature, we offer courses and are available for questions or one-to-one guidance for students/employees. One-to-one guidance can be particularly helpful when starting on a new assignment or research project. Please do not hesitate to contact us or book time with a subject librarian!
We can help with:

- Using literature: Keeping your literature organised, using reference management software, how to cite various sources
- Intellectual property rights: Publication, use of another's intellectual work
- Bibliometrics: Analyzing the literature by bibliometric methods
Research support: We offer courses and guidance along the whole research life cycle.
- Publishing and impact: Open Access (OA) publishing, publishing agreements & UiBs OA publication fund, Cristin (the national system for registration of research and documentation), BORA, publishing strategy and impact
- Research data: Open Access to research data, FAIR principles, data management, Data Management Plans (DMP), data deposition, general & domain-specific data repositories, finding and reusing datasets, citable code
- Open Science: The University of Bergen Policy for Open Science, funder requirements (NFR, Horizon2020/Horizon Europe)
- Visibility: researcher profile, publication statistics
Teaching support: You can book a tailored, short course for your students from us, or we can run help-desks related to specific assignments.
