INSPEC is a major indexing database of scientific and technical literature, published by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), and formerly by the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE), one of the IET's forerunners.
INSPEC coverage is extensive in the fields of physics and computer, control, and mechanical engineering. Its coverage in applied mathematics includes many practically oriented mathematical articles that are excluded from MathSciNet and Zentralblatt MATH, which limit themselves to mathematics and some of computer science.
INSPEC was started in 1967 as an outgrowth of the Science Abstracts service. The electronic records were distributed on magnetic tape. In the 1980s, it was available in the U.S. through the Knowledge Index, a low-priced dial-up version of the Dialog service for individual users, which made it popular.
Access to INSPEC is currently by the Internet through various resellers. Because INSPEC is not as expensive as some other online databases such as Web of Science, it has become a standard online resource at universities and libraries.
INSPEC Direct is a web-based portal for the INSPEC Database, available directly from the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
NSPEC-Information System for Physics, Electronics and Computing
this is a large data base in the field of Sc.& Tec.
importance of database the point of view librarianship
huge collection of information resource in the field of physics electronics and computer engineering.
so for very important database subscribe to library.
