The Computer Science Index (formerly called Computer Literature Index), a database created by EBSCO Publishing, provides abstracting and indexing of academic journals, professional publications and other reference sources at the highest scholarly and technical levels of computer science. The database contains more than 300,000 records from more than 500 periodicals and books, with coverage dating back to the mid 1950s.

Computer Science Index focuses on subjects such as artificial intelligence, expert systems, system design, data structures, computer theory, computer systems and architecture, software engineering, human-computer interaction, new technologies, social and professional context, and much more. Enhancements to the original database include hundreds of new titles and searchable references for key academic journals. The product also includes editor-selected articles from magazine and journal titles in related areas of study.
