The SPIE Digital Library (SPIEDL) moved to Silverchair Information Systems platform SCM6 on August 22, 2012.  SPIEDL has an updated look, improved functionality, and more content.

• 40,000 additional articles from 1962 to 1989 from the Proceedings of SPIE and the journal Optical Engineering have been added, extending coverage back to Volume 1
• New optics and photonics taxonomy for more relevant searching
• New content collections defined for more than 120 subject areas allowing for browsing across proceedings, journals and books
• Mobile access via a web browser enabled for phones and tablets
• Author profile links showing author publications and society activities

SPIEDL is comprised of papers from more than 300 conferences, 8 journals and 160+ books.  Currently there are approximately 375,000 papers covering biomedical optics and medical imaging, communications, electronic imaging, signal processing and other optics and photonics subjects.
