The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has announced the expansion of the ASME Digital Collection with content from three new contributors: ASTM International, The American Welding Society, and Business Expert Press. This collaboration combines the publications of four organizations to create a substantive collection of engineering content. This unified digital repository will serve as an essential resource for professionals seeking engineering solutions to global challenges.
One of the largest technical publishing operations in the world, ASME offers thousands of titles including some of the engineering profession's most prestigious peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and ASME Press e-books. Now, ASTM International makes its Digital Library available via the ASME Digital Collection, powered by the Silverchair platform, with the migration intended to broaden access to a wider audience. Business Expert Press has added more than 200 applied, concise business book titles to the ASME platform. In addition, the American Welding Society will add select reference materials to the platform over the next few months. Technical standards from the new collaborators are not part of the expanded ASME Digital Collection.
The ASTM Digital Library covers a broad range of engineering disciplines and includes 1,500+ Manuals and Special Technical Publications, totaling over 20,600 journal articles and 35,600 chapters and papers. The ASME Digital Collection provides a wealth of peer-reviewed content through journals, conference proceedings, and books dating back to 1933.
Aligned with the AWS mission to advance the welding and allied joining industries, the AWS portion of the ASME Digital Library will provide a cloud-based repository for select reference materials.
