- Synthesis Digital Library of Engineering and Computer Science
- Stanford has a campus-wide site license to the Synthesis Digital Library.
Synthesis is an innovative information service for the research, development,
and educational community in engineering and computer science.
The basic component of the library is a 50- to 100-page “Lecture”; a
self-contained electronic book that synthesizes an important research or development
topic, authored by an expert contributor to the field. We believe that they offer
unique value to the reader by providing more analysis and depth than the typical
research journal article. They are also more dynamic and convenient than traditional
print or digital handbooks, contributed volumes, and monographs.
The library and its lectures are organized by series. Each series is managed by a
prominent consulting editor. The series editor guides lecture topic and author
selection as well as peer review. New series and lectures will be added continuously
and existing lectures will be revised as needed. This will make the collection dynamic
in a way that has not been achieved with traditional reference or educational
products.
The Synthesis platform provides the user with access to content in PDF with live
links to references and sophisticated search and personalization functions.
- Thieme Electronic Book Library — Atlas & Textbook Series
- This collection provides a resource for learning, review, and research in medicine
and the life sciences. It systematically covers every course in the medical school
curriculum and includes basic science volumes of interdisciplinary interest. Packed
with illustrations, titles have been used for more than 40 years by medical students
and professionals alike, with over 20 million copies sold worldwide. The innovative
electronic version retains the outstanding educational utility of the print books,
but incorporates powerful search functions to allow easy pinpointing of topics.
