IEEE Titles Searchable Via New Yahoo! Search Subscriptions

PISCATAWAY, N.J., 16 June 2005 -- Thousands of online technology titles from IEEE may now be located by subscribers through an additional outlet, the new Yahoo! Search Subscriptions. The new service allows users to search multiple online subscription content and database sources and the general Web at the same time.

This deep web subscription content includes for-pay news and reference Web sites, which search engines typically can not access. IEEE is one of seven initial publishers whose content may be located through this service. To view subscription content, users must be a subscriber of the publishers' content.

"We are pleased to be associated with this project, as it allows IEEE to extend the reach of our publications," said Barbara H. Lange, Director, IEEE Publications Product Line Management and Business Development. "IEEE publishes the most highly cited journals in electrical engineering, telecommunications and computer science. Using Yahoo! Search Subscriptions, researchers in these fields now have another way to locate IEEE articles and papers, in addition to tools they already have from their academic or corporate libraries, or as IEEE members,"

Yahoo! Search Subscriptions beta is located at http://search.yahoo.com/subscriptions. The service is initially available in the U.S. and the UK.

Through its members, the IEEE is a leading authority on areas ranging from aerospace, computers and telecommunications to biomedicine, electric power and consumer electronics. The IEEE produces 30 percent of the world's literature in the electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields, has more than 1.1 million technology documents online, and has developed more than 900 active industry standards. The organization also sponsors or cosponsors more than 300 international technical conferences each year.
