Technical Reports and Technical Notes
Searching for Technical Reports held at the Math/CS Library
All technical reports held by the Math/CS Library can be found in Socrates,
the online catalog for the Stanford University Libraries, by searching
for the title of the report.
The collection includes computer
science, mathematics, statistics, and operations research technical
reports from various sources around the world from the
mid-1950's to the present. The bulk of the collection is composed
of computer science-related reports issued by U.S. institutions
from the 1970's and 1980's. Many were later published in magazines
and refereed journals.
Of the approximately 56,000 technical reports
in the collection, about 30% are freely
available online as of this writing through
institutional Web sites.
You may contact the librarian if you
need assistance determining whether or not a particular technical report
is online, as not all links are in the catalog.

Searching for and Downloading Stanford Computer Science Technical Reports
and Notes
The most recent technical reports (2000+ ) can be found at
http://hci.stanford.edu/cstr/ and are only available online.
For technical reports prior to 2000, use Socrates,
the online catalog for the Stanford University Libraries, to search for technical
reports or browse the Computer
Science Department technical reports and notes available online (with abstracts)
by decade and by type. Click on the link of the report (if available) to download
a copy from the ftp site. Please note that only some Stanford
technical reports are available online.
If your
browser is set up to use an ftp client (e.g., WS-FTP), go to ftp://db.stanford.edu/pub/cstr.
Click on "reports", then click on each folder (subdirectory) as
indicated in the report number. For example, if you are looking for report
number
CS-TR-74-433, click on "cs", then
"tr", then "74", then "433".
Otherwise use anonymous ftp. FTP to
db.stanford.edu/pub/cstr. Set binary.
Use the pathname for the report number.
For example, if you are looking for CSL-TR-98-555 use the path /reports/csl/tr/98/555.
Or if you are looking for CS-TR-98-999 use the path /reports/cs/tr/98/999.

Stanford Mathematics & Statistics TRs
Most technical reports from the Mathematics and Statistics Departments
are not available online.
However, some faculty have made their reports available, so check their individual
web sites. Abstracts of reports (in PDF and PostScript) issued by the Statistics
Department for 1997 to the present are available
at http://stat.stanford.edu/research/index.html.
