Whether you are a computer expert, a student of computer sciences, or someone who regularly uses computers at home or work (and let’s face it, that includes almost everyone), you will appreciate ProQuest's Computing database, which gives you direct access to comprehensive information on all areas of computers and computing.

ProQuest's Computing database contains scholarly journals, trade publications and consumer titles. These consumer titles include plenty of material to interest amateur computer users. Current magazines, such as PC World, Technology Review and Wired, include really helpful hints on things such as how to turn off annoying notifications on your smartphone, or the latest tips and tricks for Windows 10. Up-to-date information about games, electronic publishing, and programs such as Photoshop, is also useful for those of us who don’t consider ourselves to be computer experts. The database includes product reviews, and information on virtually any computing topic, including programming, networks, games, artificial intelligence, graphics, database management, electronic data processing, hardware, software, and information science and theory.
The database includes around 450 titles, most of which are available in full text, with trustworthy coverage of computer topics, including computer science and security, information systems, software development, database design, LANs, WANs, intranets and the Internet.
