New ASME Digital Library Offers Online Search

By DE Editors

The new ASME Digital Library consolidates the 22 technical journals and more than 100 conference proceedings from American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME; New York) into a single, seamless online resource on asme.org. ASME Press e-Books also are available in the Digital Library.

Users – including engineers, engineering researchers, scientists, academics, and library services – also benefit from functions and links for searching and cross-referencing that is available on a subscription basis. The content includes current ASME transactions journals and other journals dating back to 1990, more than 30,000 conference proceedings papers, and ASME Press e-Books dating back to 1999.

Users of the digital library have a full range of available information, features, and services facilitated by the Scitation platform. These include cross-journal searching, the ability to view individual articles online before the journal is printed, links to primary publishers and databases, and personalization tools.

The hosting service, Scitation, is a division of the American Institute of Physics, a nonprofit corporation that provides publishing and distribution services for scientific and technical societies. For more information, visit ASME.
