The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has announced the availability of select ASME Press book titles from 1998 to the present in eBook format on its Digital Library. Starting July 1, ASME will offer, for the first time, 50 titles in eBook format. The Society will add another 50 titles by the end of 2010.
The ASME Digital Library is projected as an indispensable tool for mechanical engineers and engineers across a wide range of disciplines, as well as for scientists in allied fields. With the addition of eBooks, the site now unifies access to all of ASME's eBooks, journals, and conference publications through a single search interface.
ASME eBooks allow the consumer to browse and search thousands of chapter abstracts and excerpts online at no cost. Each eBook is fully searchable on its own or collectively with the ASME online journals and conference papers. eBooks will be available in a diverse range of subject areas including design and manufacturing, engineering management and pipeline engineering.
ASME eBooks are available either through a standard 12-month subscription for 2011 or through a one-time purchase which provides continuous access to all titles. Both options include new book titles as they become available and include all 2010 print publications.
