IMarEST's new online Library is now live

The IMarEST is pleased to announce the launch of a brand-new online Library, available now to all members. Replacing the previous platform, the new and improved Library features more than 10,000 records and items, dating back to the Institute of Marine Engineer’s inception in the 1880s.

Specific items can be found by searching for titles, authors or other search terms, but it is also now possible to browse entire collections, meaning all entries into a journal or magazine can be found. Bringing together records from across multiple digital platforms, the Library is a growing repository for research across the marine sector. In addition, two collections have been made publicly accessible with the support of BMT: the Journal of Naval Engineering archive and Papers on Engineering Subjects

Aside from regular updates from the developer that will keep the Library easy to use, one feature that will be particularly of interest to members is the option to submit original published work. Members are invited to provide details of their published work for feature in the Library, ensuring that it continues to represent the entire IMarEST community.

Users can also opt in to email alerts when material of interest to them is uploaded, as well as the option to share items of interest in private groups. More information on the Library, as well as how-to-use video tutorials, have been sent via email to all members and you can visit now at imarest.org/library.

Submit your own work to the IMarEST Library

 As a member, you can submit your own work to the Library. Both published and unpublished works will be considered and you can take a look at the guidance document here on how to make a submission.
