IET Library services aren't just for members who can get to the Institution's London building in Savoy Place. If you're looking for more detailed information about a hot topic like the 2012 Olympics that's covered in the latest issue of Engineering & Technology, it could be easier to find than you think, as Information Officer Cathy Firebrace explains.



The moment has arrived and the start of the 2012 London Olympics 2012 is in sight, but have you thought of any hurdles that you need to jump to get that vital edge over your competitors? Get ahead with your research by accessing thousands of electronic books and full text articles on engineering and technology topics, as well as business and company data through IET Virtual Library.
