Synthesis Digital Library of Engineering and Computer Science (Morgan & Claypool)
 
Synthesis Digital Library ebooks (their "Lecture Notes")  are included as part of the library's collection, and may be accessed like other library electronic materials via a link in BOSUN.  The basic component of the Digital 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 synthesis, analysis, and depth than typical research journal articles. New lectures will be added continuously and existing lectures will be revised as needed.

Notes:   Dudley Knox Library owns Synthesis Collection One and Synthesis Collection Two only. Synthesis Digital Library Lecture Notes the library owns are accessible from these links, directly from Synthesis Digital Library, or from a link in the BOSUN record for each.
