A free new facility which will make the Internet more
user-friendly for engineers, pinpointing the information they
need from among the vast array of available resources, went live
on Friday 13th September.

The Edinburgh Engineering Virtual Library (EEVL) links directly
to over 1300 Internet resources in engineering, with a
user-friendly interface which will allow all engineers,
academics, students, and the commercial sectors, plus anyone else
with an Internet connection, to access the latest engineering
information by keyword, subject, or title.

The 200,000 Pounds Sterling project, which has taken a year to
get up and running, is managed and updated by a team of
engineering information specialists, headquartered at Heriot-Watt
University Library, in Edinburgh.

Resources in the EEVL database include Web sites for engineering
e-journals and electronic newsletters, engineering companies,
professional societies and institutions, engineering departments
within higher education institutions, government sources,
engineering email lists, resource guides and directories,
research centres, recruitment services, and more.

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

The service can be found at:  http://www.eevl.ac.uk/
