This is excellent advice. If you have a hard time following a thesis, look for introductory stuff in the bibliography.
CiteSeer (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/ http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/) is an excellent place to find theses, research papers, etc., and it has local PDF / PS caches for many of them. Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com/ http://scholar.google.com/) also works, though many results will be behind academic paywalls (e.g. the ACM) - the "all X versions" link will often have alternative links, such as faculty pages, including PDFs / PSs.
- eagleal 16y agoRe paywalls: that's why I use also http://academic.research.microsoft.com/ http://academic.research.microsoft.com/. For some papers it has a PDF link on the bottom of the page. As a personal preference, I like it more than Scholar (scholar is more full-text search driven, while academic is more filtered).
