ASCE Library

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
<p>ASCE Journals first appeared online in the Fall of 2000.  The online collection was designated ASCE Research Library in the Fall of 2004 with the addition of ASCE Proceedings papers.  In June 2012, the platform migrated from <a href="/facts/Scitation/XM6sCnm9">Scitation</a>, to Literatum managed by <a href="/facts/Atypon/2mYH48Ur">Atypon</a> and the site was renamed ASCE Library.  In June 2013, e-books and standards were added with the ability to download individual book chapters as well as complete books. In 2016, ASCE added access to premium content from Civil Engineering Magazine.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a>

<h2 id="coverage">Coverage</h2>
<p>The ASCE Library offers online access to more than 150,000 technical and professional papers.  It encompasses the full text of papers published in 35 journals (as of 2019) from 1983 to the present, conference proceedings from 2000 to the present, and full text of ASCE standards and e-books. The ASCE Library is supplemented by Civil Engineering Database (CEDB), a free bibliographic database offering records of all publications by American Society of Civil Engineers since 1872. CEDB is updated at the end of each month. The update includes the journal content for the following month and all other content published in the previous month.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a>
