Product description

To provide up to date information on Inspec for your library and users from your website or intranet, we have prepared a summary of text which can be found below. Please alert your webmaster. This information can be copied directly to your site to inform your Inspec users.

Inspec is the world’s leading bibliographic database, providing comprehensive access to the world's scientific and technical literature in physics, electrical engineering, electronics, communications, control engineering, computers, computing, information technology, manufacturing, production and mechanical engineering.

The Inspec Database provides academic, corporate, and government researchers with comprehensive coverage, in-depth indexing and easy access to a world of engineering and technical research.

First published in 1898 as the Science Abstracts, Inspec now contains close to 10 million bibliographic records taken from more than 4000 scientific and technical journals and 2200 conference proceedings, as well as numerous books, reports, dissertations and patents, many with full-text linking. 

With the introduction of the Inspec Archive, the Database now offers more than 100 years of coverage online, including 875,000 records published in the Science Abstracts between 1898 and 1968.
