The ISRM Digital Library is a project that was launced in October 2010. Its main objective consists in making available to the Rock Mechanics community worldwide the materials published in the ISRM Congresses and sponsored Symposia, and in this way giving them a greater visibility.

The ISRM Digital Library is part of OnePetro, a large online library managed by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. ISRM individual members registered on the ISRM website are allowed to download, at no cost, up to 100 papers per year from the ISRM conferences. ISRM corporate members can download 250 papers.

To register on the OnePetro website (www.onepetro.org) as an ISRM member, the only necessary information is the username and the password used to access the members’ area of the ISRM website. Non-members can purchase the ISRM papers online.
