IEEE Offers Free eBook Classics to Members

IEEE members now have access to more than 220 eBooks from the IEEE Press collection through IEEE Xplore, at no additional cost. This was conveyed to members in an email on April 19, 2010. The eBook collection spans a number of today's technologies across 15 different content areas, and includes:

practical handbooks,
introductory and advanced texts,
reference works, and

Through this value added benefit of IEEE membership, the IEEE has shown its commitment to member professional development, especially in this period of economic challenges. Newer eBooks will be added every year.

These books are available for downloads in PDF in member's personal IEEE account in the following ways.
