Since its inception in 2003, the SPIE Digital Library has provided the research and development community with vetted content that connects minds through its dissemination.  It continues to enhance the content with personalized services that include reference linking, e-mail alerts, individual article collection folders for researchers, download activity tracking, and co-branding for librarians.  Subscribers save valuable time, leverage 50 years of experience, and benefit from the largest database of photonics-related content in the world.  Through the "e-First" publishing program, individual articles from Journal issues and Proceedings volumes are published electronically in the SPIE Digital Library as soon as they are reviewed and accepted, insuring that they are available for subscribers to use as quickly as possible.
