The Argonne Research Library is sponsoring two workshops presented by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2017. Both sessions are free. There will also be a lunchtime expo with demonstrations and giveaways.
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 2016, over 21,000 IEEE articles were downloaded from Xplore by Argonne scientists and engineers. Argonne researchers have published over 150 papers in IEEE publications in the last two years.
