Many IFIP conferences and events generate proceedings
published by the IFIP publisher. Annually, some 50 books are
published with more than 20,000 pages of valuable information. The IFIP Library contains more than 1000 books, many of them currently sold by IFIP's publisher and by other book stores, e.g. Amazon.com (search for "IFIP").
IFIP's publisher is Springer Science+Business Media. IFIP publications by Springer are available online as well as in print.
IFIP publishes the proceedings of conferences
sponsored by IFIP and books and other documents resulting from
IFIP-sponsored activities. IFIP does not publish proceedings or other
documents from events or activities that are not sponsored by IFIP.
Open Access to IFIP Publications
Open Access to IFIP Publications is currently realized via four channels:
1) The new IFIP Digital Library (https://hal.inria.fr/IFIP/), which currently makes available the author's files of IFIP Springer
publications (AICT, LNCS, LNBIP) from 2017 (as applicable) back to 2010. It also includes the references to such publications up to and including 2019.
2) Springer Link (https://link.springer.com) for IFIP Springer publications (AICT, LNCS, LNBIP) with free access for
all articles 4 years old and older, almost complete backwards till 2005 and additionally many publications backwards till 1995, when Kluwer Academic
Publishers (KAP) became the official IFIP publisher. NB: Not the books are free, but the individual articles. So don't get confused by the fact that there
is a lock on the book download. Just move on to the table of contents and download the articles individually.
3) IFIP Select (ifip.org/select): Selected papers from IFIP proceedings,selected to be of interest to a more mainstream audience, especially member
societies' members, so that member societies can distribute this compendium as a service to their members. Papers are more overview papers than very
specialized ones and in any case each accompanied by a cover paper of 2-3 pages that describes the related scientific paper and its relevance for a more
mainstream audience.
4) The previous IFIP Digital Library dl.ifip.org
for some non-Springer publications and also Springer publications between 2005
and 2012.
Combined, (almost) all IFIP works published with Springer from ca. 2005 to 3 years old are available for open and free access (one way or the other). In addition many proceedings back till 1995 when Kluwer became the official IFIP publisher are available (NB.: Kluwer, the then official IFIP publisher, was merged into Springer back in 2004).
