What Are Proceedings?
Proceedings are the official record of a conference, usually held by an association or organization. The proceedings may include contributed papers, abstracts of papers or presentations, and other types of documents.
Articles or papers from conference proceedings can be more difficult to find than journal articles because they are not indexed in as many resources, and often the official title of the conference is difficult to identify.
Recommended Resources for Finding Articles/Papers
If a conference paper is not full-text in a resource below, please check the UNT Library Catalog to see if it is available in print. An author search for the organization usually works best.
Please contact Ask Us whenever you have difficulty finding a conference proceeding.
