EEVL, the new free UK based virtual library for Engineering, now
live!

http://www.eevl.ac.uk/

The Edinburgh Engineering Virtual Library (EEVL) went live
on Friday 13th September.  The EEVL gateway to Internet resources
in Engineering will be extremely popular with the engineering
community and will solve one of the main problems facing users of
the Internet - locating useful resources from the millions
available.

Earlier in the summer EEVL launched two useful services for
engineers, the EEVL Engineering Newsgroup Archive, and the
Offshore Engineering Information Service, both of which have
proved successful.  Now EEVL's Main Service, its searchable
database of high quality engineering networked resources, will be
freely available to anyone anywhere in the world with an Internet
connection and appropriate World Wide Web browsing software.

The database, containing descriptions and links to over 1300
Internet resources in engineering, has an extremely user friendly
interface, and allows practising engineers, academics,
researchers, students, and information specialists to search or
browse for engineering resources by title, keyword, or subject.
The database is actively managed by a team of engineering
information specialists, with headquarters at Heriot-Watt
University Library, in Edinburgh, UK.  Resource
descriptions and links are checked regularly, making EEVL the
premier site on the Internet for locating UK engineering sites.
Resources in the EEVL database include Web sites for engineering
e-journals and electronic newsletter, engineering
companies, professional societies and institutions, engineering
departments within higher education, government sources,
engineering email lists, resource guides and directories,
research centres, recruitment services, software, and more.

EEVL fills a large gap for engineers and industrialists as far
as Internet resources are concerned and it is likely that EEVL
will become the first port of call for anyone looking for
Engineering information on the Internet.

EEVL is funded through the Electronic Library Programme (eLib),
managed by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) on
behalf of the UK Higher Education funding councils.  The EEVL
Project lead sites are Heriot-Watt University Library, and the
Heriot-Watt Institute for Computer Based Learning
(ICBL).  Partner sites are the University of Edinburgh, Napier
University, Cambridge University, Imperial College of Science,
Technology and Medicine, the Nottingham Trent University, and the
Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE).
