How to decipher and use your reading list

Which one's a conference paper?

Move your mouse over the citation to see what the various details are.

Sometimes a lecturer might direct you to a specific paper published as part of a conference proceedings. It is important that you are able to recognise the differences between this type of citation and journal article so you can look in the right place.

Some clues that it is a conference paper:

• there are publishing details
• there are NO volume or issue details
• there appear to be two titles - use the conference title to search in the catalogue
• there appear to be two authors - use the conference's author/editor to search in the catalogue
• the word "in" appears after the first title, indicating that the material appears in some other item

NOTE: Proceedings is often abbreviated to Proc. There are many other possible abbreviations.
