Answer

For articles, go to our Databases by Subject LibGuide below and then select the Technology tab. I first went to EBSCO: all technology databases and searched "operating systems computers and history". Use the limiters on your left for full text, publication dates and subject terms.

For books, go to WorldCat and search computer history. I searched operating systems, and got instructional manuals.
