BrowZine Web
BrowZine is a service that interacts with a library’s existing e-journal resources allowing users to browse journals in a normalized setting and create a personalized reading room of journals to follow. Originally developed for mobile devices, it is now being expanded to a web interface for laptop and desktop use. A BrowZine account is required to sync between the app and BrowZine Web.

The Web of Science, provided by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) a division of Thomson Reuters, is an index of current and retrospective multidisciplinary information from 1975 on. The bibliographic records from approximately 8,700 high impact research journals are mostly linked to full-text articles.

arXiv
A repository of pre-prints and post-prints of journal articles, including a solid and growing CS collection.

arXiv is a pioneering open access e-print archive of physics, mathematics and computer science articles, hosted by the Cornell University Library.

DBLP
Another bibliographic database focused on CS research
Semantic Scholar
A new search that uses AI principles and semantic linking to try and create a better scholarly resource search engine. So far, has only been applied to CS materials, but they plan to use the search to crawl all scholarly resources in the future.
