Scientific paper

We use a simple optical/infrared photometric selection of high redshift QSOs which identifies a Lyman Break in the optical and requires a red IRAC color to distinguish QSOs from common interlopers. We find 100 U-dropout (z=3) QSO candidates with r'<22 within 11.2 deg^2 in the ELAIS-N1 & ELAIS-N2 fields in the Spitzer Wide-Area Infrared Extragalactic (SWIRE) Legacy Survey. Spectroscopy of 10 candidates shows that they are all QSOs with 2.83
