The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) have launched the IET Research Hub following the transition of its entire journals portfolio to Open Access. The IET Research Hub allows free access to a vast collection of engineering and technology research and consists of the IET Journals Archive (published from 2013 onwards), the IET eBook Collections & the IET Inspec Archive.
If you need journal articles, conference papers, books, reports or other items that cannot be found in any of the University of Cambridge libraries, we can attempt to obtain a physical or digital copy as an Inter Library Loan.
To request an Inter Library Loan please use the Online Inter Library Loan Form (provided by the Medical Library)
