The Morgan & Claypool Synthesis Digital Library of Engineering and Computer Science is now available.

http://www.morganclaypool.com/page/ForthcomingSynthesisLectures

This series contains over 400 online lectures (50-100 pages each) on artificial intelligence, communication networks, electrical engineering, human-centered informatics, synthetic biology, and much more. These are ideally suited for course reserve and some are already in use that way.

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. They provide more analysis and depth than the typical research journal article and are shorter than a book.
