The Argonne Research Library is sponsoring two workshops presented by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2019, in Building 240, Room 1404. Both sessions are free and light refreshments will be served. There will also be a lunchtime Q&A with IEEE representatives and Argonne Library staff.
IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. Argonne’s Library subscribes to the IEEE Xplore digital library. In 2019, over 25,000 IEEE articles were downloaded from Xplore by Argonne scientists and engineers. Argonne researchers have published over 200 papers in IEEE publications in the last two years.
For questions, contact Mary Straka (BIS).
