Important IEEE notification

Due to necessary cost-cutting, Unitec Library had to cancel our IEEE subscription. Access ends on 31st Dec 2022. We will be working on a different package for 2023, planning for it to be available in March 2023. Meanwhile, please use the Interlibrary Loan service or approach other libraries.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
