Synthesis: Digital Library of Engineering and Computer Science
The basic component of the library is a 50- to 100-page "Lecture"; a self-contained electronic book that synthesizes an important research or development topic, authored by an expert contributor to the field. We believe that they offer unique value to the reader by providing more analysis and depth than the typical research journal article. They are also more dynamic and convenient than traditional print or digital handbooks, contributed volumes, and monographs.
Wiley Online LIbrary
Includes Reference books, books, and journals.

Colloquium Digital Library of Life Sciences An original collection of PDF e-books for researchers, instructors, and advanced-level students in the biomedical life sciences. Each PDF e-book in the digital library is an accessible overview of a research area/topic, authored by a leading expert in the field. They are intended as timesaving research tools for non-specialists in related fields, and as teaching materials for upper-level courses in the biomedical life sciences.
