The SPIE Digital Library proceedings have been reorganized into seven broad technology areas:
Each of these areas is further divided into key subtopics. You can browse these seven main technology areas and their subfields and view a chronological listing of volumes within each area, with links to the contents of those volumes. The E-mail Alerts are now mapped to these technology segments.
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards are now available online.
ASTM International is an international standards developing organization that develops and publishes voluntary technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services. ASTM International develops standards using a consensus process.
ASTM International was formed in 1898 in the United States as the American Society for Testing and Materials by a group of scientists and engineers, led by Charles Benjamin Dudley, to address the frequent rail breaks plaguing the fast-growing railroad industry. The group developed a standard for the steel used to fabricate rails. It predates other standards organizations such as BSI (1901), DIN (1917) and AFNOR (1926), but differs from these in that it is not a national standards body, that role being taken in the USA by ANSI. However, it has a dominant role among standards developers in the USA, and claims to be the world's largest developer of standards.
Today, ASTM International supports thousands of technical committees, which draw their members from around the world and collectively maintain more than 12,000 standards. The quality of the standard test methods is such that they are frequently used world-wide, even in places where ASTM specifications are not used.
IEEE Xplore® , the digital library of IEEE journals, conference papers and Standards, has added new research options, including tabbed search results, improved author search, citation search, and more.
Search results now show four tabs. The first tab (default view) will display all IEEE/IET publications. Users can now click on tabs to view other results including Books, Courses, or Application Notes
1. IEEE/IET - IEEE journals, transactions, letters, magazines, conference proceedings, and standards.
2. Books – Citations to books published by IEEE Press and IEEE Computer Society Press in partnership with John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
3. Educational Courses - Interactive online content developed from IEEE conference tutorials.
4. Application Notes [BETA] – produced by GlobalSpec, Application Notes are content created by companies to explain, illustrate, and promote technologies or products.
The IEEE and the Engineering Library are anxious to hear what you think of these improvements. Send your comments to Helen Josephine, Head Librarian, Engineering Library

The library is currently running a trial of Scopus (http://www.scopus.com). Scopus is an abstract and citation database of research literature and quality web sources. It includes many tools that allow you to look at what articles are being cited, examine new trends in research literature, and the ability to create alerts to notify you when new articles are published in any research area.
If you have any feedback, please send us an email at engreference@stanford.edu.
WorldWideScience.org now searches 52 databases and portals from 56 countries. The three latest resources are Sri Lanka Journals Online (SLJOL), Indonesia Journals Online (IJO), and the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN Document Server.
WorldWideScience.org is intended to accelerate international scientific progress by serving as a single, sophisticated point of access for diverse scientific resources and expertise from nations around the world.
Sri Lanka Journals Online is a database of journals published in Sri Lanka, and is supported by the International Network for the Availability of Science Documents (INASP). Indonesia Journals Online is supported by the Indonesian National Department of Education. The CERN Document Server has nearly 1 million records, with 360,000 full-text documents of interest to researchers working in particle physics and related areas. The database covers preprints, articles, books, journals, and a significant volume of multimedia.
The People's Republic of China is another significant addition to WorldwideScience.org in recent months with the addition of a database from the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China (ISTIC).
