The most commonly raised question, answered succinctly. Q: If I can find all the information on Google, whats the value of IEEE membership? I have no time to read the publications. A: Its a constant challenge between finding the time to be informed, and one day discovering that youre not technically current. IEEE publications are the worlds best collection of technical information. Taking the time to read this information keeps you technically current. Investing 30 minutes with one publication could save you 40 hours of research work. Theres a lot of information to be found on Google, but IEEE publications are not available for free on Google. Moreover, the quality of technical information found via Google is random, and doesnt adhere to any consistent standards of technical excellence. Those who feel inquisitive enough to check the credibility, authenticity or source of the information on Google, would discover that more than 60,000 patents cite IEEE information. IEEE membership is much more than access to information. Its about networking, professional development, and you taking personal responsibility for your career. Membership is about meeting new colleagues, and coming into contact with really great people-individuals who join IEEE form friendships that last a lifetime, and a network with enormous potential.
