Benefits
With the IET Digital Library, you’ll be able to stay at the forefront of international developments in physics, engineering and technology through a combination of books, conference proceedings and journals.
From 1994 onwards, there are more than 150,000 technical papers and 6,000 eBook chapters available; in addition, approximately 450 new documents are added to the IDL each month, so you can be sure that you have access to the most recent research being published in your field.
Your field - what is your field? That question brings us to the main benefit of the IDL. You already know that our eBooks cover 11 specialist topics and our Journals Archive covers the foundational history of 9 engineering and technology topics. But what the IDL unlocks for you is not just access to this information, but an easy way to visualize and navigate it all through the Subjects tab.
The subject page allows you to browse through the IET’s 5 main areas of focus—physics, electrical and electronic engineering, computer and control engineering, mechanical and production engineering, and IT for business—and drill down into key concepts to see what the IDL has to say about them. Whether you are a subject expert or a casual researcher, this page allows you to navigate and closely examine complex topics and also see the relevant and top-notch content on the IDL that addresses those topics.
In summary, the IDL not only gives you access to the best information in physics, engineering and technology, but a logical and user-friendly way to navigate and understand that information in a way that can be useful to users of all kinds.
