Finding conferences can be tricky because of the erratic way they are published and cited. Here are a few pointers.

1. Conference sponsors are searched as authors, as are the editors of the proceedings. If you know either of these, try an author search.

2. If you are certain as to the actual published title of the proceedings, try that as a title browse search.

3. If the title has a unique word in it such as Compcon, try that as a title word search.

4. If you know where or when the conference was held, you can use that as a title word search. For example:
  "paris 1998" will find conferences held in Paris in 1998.
  "ieee fuzzy 2nd" will find IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (2nd : 1993 : San Francisco, Calif.).

If you get too many hits, use the conference index, which is a subset of the title index.

If none of the above retrieve the conference, contact the Library via phone (7-5809) or e-mail (library@lanl.gov).

Many databases offered by the Research Library index the papers in conference proceedings. Coverage of key databases:

In most of these databases you can limit a search to Document Type "Conference Publication." Full-text may be linked in these databases, however if a link to holdings is not shown, check the library catalog.
