For a number of years now AES members have been able to purchase a
set of CD-ROMs (currently 20 discs) containing all the AES papers from
the Journal, conventions and conferences: over 11,000 fully
searchable PDFs documenting the progression of audio research during the
past fifty years.
Now members can get the full functionality of the entire AES Electronic
Library via online subscription. No more swapping discs to get to the
paper you want. No more 8-GB chunk of your hard drive needed to load the
entire library on your computer. No more installing the update discs
with each year's new material. Simply log on, enter your username and
password, and you have complete access to everything in the library.
Do you ever need access to AES papers when you are traveling? Maybe
while you are at an AES convention or conference? No problem. With
online access you will have the convenience of having the entire
library with you anytime, anywhere in the world via the Internet.
The online library is platform-independent, Mac, Unix or PC, it
doesn't matter.
Even on a low-speed, dial-up connection to the Internet, your searches
in the library will produce almost instantaneous results. And when you
need to download a particular paper for further study, the compact PDFs
will usually arrive on your desktop within seconds.
The cost for an online E-Library subscription is $125 per
year giving you the ability to download any paper found
with no further cost. Without the online E-Library subscription, all AES Journal,
convention and conference papers are currently available for downloading
at a cost of $5 per paper for members and $20 per paper for nonmembers.
By signing up for an online subscription to the library you save yourself the
trouble of using your credit card for every $5 download. As an added
benefit you get to use the special E-Library search engine which
includes full-text searching in addition to searching by author, title,
date, or other metadata.
Please note, online access is only available to AES members. Nonmembers
can become members (click here) or continue
to purchase papers individually. We also
offer an institutional version
of this E-Library to libraries, universities, and companies.
If you like simple, fast, and easy access to information, then you'll
truly appreciate your online access to the AES Electronic Library.

We also still have a few copies of the old disc-based Electronic Library.

Electronic Library Search
Even without subscribing you can still search the electronic library
on-line using this form so that you can purchase items individually. We
also have a form for searching only
Convention and
Conference Papers and another form for searching only
Journal Articles. If you need to
search the actual contents of documents then you must first
log in to the On-line E-Library.
