IET Inspec—Making the Latest Engineering and Technology Research Data Accessible
The Inspec database, created by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), is one of the world’s most definitive bibliographic scientific databases, containing nearly 15 million abstracts and specialized indexing to the world’s scientific and technical literature covering physics, electrical engineering, electronics, communications, control engineering, computing, information technology, manufacturing, production and
mechanical engineering. Over 840,000 new records are added to the Inspec database each year; including nearly 5,000 journal titles (online, print and open access) in addition to numerous books and reports. Inspec also now indexes video content from
IET.tv and Journal of Visual Experimentation (JoVE). The inclusion of video has become particularly insightful to Inspec users as video is increasingly becoming the medium of choice for
scientific researchers and knowledge providers.
IET is committed to providing researchers with access to the research data they need most and in whatever delivery format is most convenient for them.
Available via the EBSCOhost®
platform, Inspec can be accessed wherever you do your research. EBSCOhost’s responsive interface is designed to adapt to whatever device

use in teaching and training materials and they expect their libraries to offer the broadest range possible. Those in this field will already know the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET);
IET.tv
is the Institution’s collection of over 6000 specialised engineering and technology videos. It’s part of the portfolio of authoritative scientific research resources which includes IET Inspec and the IET Digital Library.

Arguably this is the world’s largest archive of such content and the collection is growing at around 1000 new videos a year. Comprised of 14 channels offering technology insights and updates, with fully functioning, highly searchable content across 8 specialist technology channels,
IET.tv is a rich source of teaching and coursework materials for lectures. Available on subscription, exclusively from the IET,
IET.tv provides readers and researchers with 24/7 access to specialist content featuring key academics, practising engineers and technologists
