Important Note About IEEE Xplore and Google

A note about IEEE Xplore® and Google

Dear IEEE Xplore Subscriber,

Recently we at IEEE discovered something about our IEEE Xplore usage patterns that we want to pass on to you.

We learned that PDF links to IEEE Xplore articles had been eliminated from Google search results. This means that anyone attempting to search for IEEE articles by using Google would probably be unsuccessful. Few search results would be returned. Because half of all IEEE Xplore downloads come through Google searches, particularly among our corporate customers, this likely resulted in a significant drop in IEEE Xplore usage.

Upon investigation we learned that, due to a misunderstanding, Google had terminated these links to IEEE Xplore around July 2009. We have contacted Google, these PDF links have been restored, and searching IEEE Xplore through Google is now effective again.

However, this action may have seriously affected your IEEE Xplore usage in the latter half of 2009.

We want to remind you that the best way to search IEEE information is to go directly to the IEEE Xplore digital library at www.ieee.org/ieeexplore. Now, with a new version of IEEE Xplore coming out in February, this is truer than ever before.

For more information regarding this issue, please contact your account manager or local representative.

Sincerely,


Jonathan Dahl
Staff Director, IEEE Sales, Marketing & Customer Operations

Announcing a new publication from Synthesis Lectures:

Reading and Writing the Electronic Book

by Catherine C. Marshall, Microsoft Research

Developments over the last 20 years have fueled considerable speculation about the future of the book and of reading itself. This book begins with a gloss over the history of electronic books, including the social and technical forces that have shaped their development. The focus then shifts to reading and how we interact with what we read: basic issues such as legibility, annotation, and navigation are examined as aspects of reading that ebooks inherit from their print legacy. Because reading is fundamentally communicative…
