The IET Library reading room

Search the Library online catalogue to locate book, conference, and journal titles. Members must be logged into the IET website first before any books can be requested or reserved. Use the My Stuff link to renew any books you have out on loan, or to view your current loans. There is also help on how to use the online catalogue when searching for titles and on how to renew, reserve and request books.

The Library loan and renewals service, provides details on; who can borrow; total loans allowed altogether; length of book loans; how to renew books on loan; how are requested books delivered; how to return books to the Library; how to request an inter-library loan.   

If you are not an IET member and would like to use the Library to borrow books and to use our electronic resources, via the Virtual Library, then you can sign up and become a Library-only member for a small annual fee.

Non-UK members have access to all of the Library services, including book loans, the Virtual Library for electronic books and journals and our Document Supply service.

The Research Service can help provide technical and business information for you or your company. Examples include using databases such as Inspec to compile a list of article abstracts and other databases and print resources to locate company information. There are a number of case-studies to show the type of enquiry they can help with.  

A Document Supply Service is provided to members and non-members for the supply of articles from our stock. There is a small charge for this service and articles can be delivered either by post, fax or email pdf delivery. There is also information on how to obtain an article or book not held in our stock from the British Library on inter-library loan.
