Finding conference proceedings
Conference papers are often published in journals to be found in online databases.
Some databases will let you limit your search to just conference proceedings, but you will generally have to add the terms conference*
and proceeding*
to your search words.
Plan your search and use search engine tricks to get the best results.
For example: coal mining and (conference* or proceeding*)
.
This search string looks for any conferences and their proceedings relating to the coal mining industry.
Keep in mind - information published via journal articles may already be several years old.
