Big changes for McGraw-Hill Digital Engineering Library
March 6th, 2009 10:58 am | by Catherine Lavallee-Welch
McGraw-Hill announced a major revision of its Digital Engineering Library. The new site will be called AccessEngineering and the URL (http://accessengineeringlibrary.com) will be activated March 9th 2009.
The new site will offer new features and enhancements, including:
- New graphical user interface: state-of-the art functionality streamlines access to content and reader
- New taxonomy book view: the website is now book-centric with faster title-by-title access to our premiere engineering collection
- Improved Advanced Search: faster search and access to more accurate content that saves time and delivers exact results
- McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Engineering embedded on all search pages: search and generate results from the world-renowned McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Engineering, which contains more than 18,000 entries containing synonyms, acronyms, abbreviations, and a pronunciation guide are included for each term.
Unfortunately, no FAQ or advance views are available before March 9th.
As the first USF librarian at the Lakeland campus (now Polytechnic), I opened the USF Polytechnic Library in January 2007 and have developed its various services.
I've held positions as information broker, Internet consultant and academic librarian in Canada, the US and Europe.
A blogger since 2001, I've created and maintained several sites in, and outside, of the biblioblogosphere.
I'm active in SLA, and currently serve as Chair of the Information Technology Division.
