Members are given ten free downloads a year. One download is a single article or chapter. Non-members will need to purchase a Knowledge Pack to begin downloading.

Credits are valid from January to December each year. At the end of the year any unused credits will be removed and on 1 January members will receive ten new credits.

What if your Knowledge Pack runs out?

Members can buy additional packs at a reduced rate. This is £25 (£30 inc. VAT) and entitles you to 25 free downloads. This works out to £1 an article/chapter. It is heavily reduced from the non-member price which is £75 (£90 inc. VAT) for ten downloads.

Additional packs must be used within 12 months of purchase.

How do I use my credits?

Simply login to the IDL using your IET login

The ten free credits will be automatically added to member accounts; non-members must purchase a Knowledge Pack to begin.

Search for the chapter or article you wish to download and click Use Knowledge Pack. This will open a pop-up box asking you to confirm that you wish to use a credit. Once this is confirmed the page will reload and the PDF will be available to download (once downloaded you can save to your computer).

Access to the PDF will expire after 48 hours, so you must download and save this file within this period.
