Access Inspec and Inspec Analytics

Inspec and Inspec Analytics are available to current subscribers on Inspec Direct and a range of vendor platforms. Access is currently provided via IP address or via your vendor platform so you need to be connected to your institution’s network. Check with your librarian or administrator to find out if you have a subscription.

We’re upgrading our systems, and this includes changes to our customer and member account log in, MyIET. It’s part of our big picture plan to deliver a great experience for you and our wider engineering community.

Whilst most of our websites remain available for browsing, it will not be possible to log in to purchase products or access services from Thursday, 17 April to Wednesday, 30 April 2025. Our Member Relations team is here to help and for many of our services, including processing payments or orders, we’ll be able to support you over the phone on +44 (0)1438 765678 or email via membership@theiet.org.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
