The IEEE/IET Electronic Library is brought to you via the IEEE Xplore® digital library. Featuring content from IEEE as well as the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), IEL contains almost one-third of the world’s current literature in electrical engineering, communications, and computer science.

Changes in 2020/21 - IET journals are moving to Wiley (and will be Gold OA). IBM Journal will be a 1957 to 2020 archived journal from 2021 on only.

An IEL subscription provides access to over 4.5 million documents. Highly-cited, peer-reviewed research that fuels more new patents than any other publisher, including:

IEEE Society journals, magazines, and transactions (and IEEE Spectrum Magazine and the Proceedings of the IEEE).
Proceedings from IEEE and IET annual conferences
More than 2,800 approved and published IEEE standards in key technology fields: IEEE Redline Versions of Standards, IEEE Standards Dictionary Online
Complimentary access to VDE conference titles
Complimentary access to Bell Labs Technical Journal (BLTJ)
