Library Web Site Tools

Download IEEE Web banner ads for your library Web site to make using IEEE Xplore just a click away.

Keep professors, students and other researchers up to date in their fields of interest by creating IEEE Xplore searches on your library Web site.

To set up a search query on your Web site:
1. Run an advanced search with your search criteria
2. Capture the URL from the search results screen
3. Link to the search results URL from your library Web site

View an example of a search query on "biometrics"

Search strategy: "Biometrics" in the Index field, from 2008 to present, sorted by year top of page

Promote your access to IEEE information by adding a description of the IEEE Xplore digital library to your corporate intranet or portal. Customize the sample description below to reflect your institution’s IEEE Xplore subscription:

IEEE Xplore is a digital library providing full-text access to the world’s highest quality technical literature in electrical engineering, computer science, electronics, and related disciplines. IEEE Xplore contains full-text documents from IEEE journals, magazines, conference proceedings, and standards, as well eBooks and educational courses. IEEE Xplore also includes content from select other publishers including the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), IBM, VDE Verlag, and AIP/AVS (American Institute of Physics/American Vacuum Society).

The IEEE Xplore digital library contains more than electrical engineering content. Include links to IEEE Xplore in your databases by subject guide under:

• Aerospace engineering
• Automotive engineering
• Bioengineering / biomedical engineering / biomedical science
• Computer engineering / computer science / information systems
• Electrical engineering
• Energy
• Engineering
• Geotechnical engineering
• Industrial engineering
• Ocean engineering
• Petroleum engineering
• Robotics engineering
• Transportation

To facilitate linking between a library’s Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) and the corresponding IEEE title, IEEE Xplore provides a table with publication and linking information for journals, magazines, conference proceedings, and standards. This table gives librarians the information necessary to build links from OPAC records directly into the publication’s page in IEEE Xplore. The links created from this table will remain intact into the future. For journal and magazine titles, links can also be created to the issue’s table of contents.

To create links from an OPAC record to the publication’s title or issue level in IEEE Xplore, insert the appropriate link into your system. Links may be created at the title level (for journals/magazines, conference proceedings and standards) or at an issue’s table of contents level (for journals/magazines only).

For links to the publication title level, the linking algorithm is:
http://ieeeXplore.ieee.org/servlet/opac?punumber=X

For links to a journal/magazine’s issue level, the linking algorithm is:
http://ieeeXplore.ieee.org/servlet/opac?punumber=X&isvol=Y&isno=Z

Legend:
X = an IEEE-designated publication number, unique to each title
Y = the volume number
Z = the issue number

Please note that there are no spaces between characters in the URL string.
