Winter 2007
[December 2007] The IMechE Information and library Service has recently launched two extra free online resources for members:
- Books24x7 delivers fully searchable full text access to over 350 industry-leading reference books, covering a wide range of topics of critical importance to engineering professionals, as well as core business and management titles. Titles include the Dry gas seals handbook, Flow induced vibration of power and process plant, Managing operations in offshore locations, Offshore ready: strategies to plan and profit, Pipeline design and construction: a practical approach, and Process piping: The complete guide to ASME B31.
- Snapshots' market research reports provide up-to-date statistical overviews of over 30 different industries, including energy, chemical, pharmaceuticals, food and industrial processing and equipment in 40 different countries. Information on market trends, market size, key companies, segmentation and future forecasts is given.
These new resources complement the online services already available in the Virtual Library – these include technical databases as well as high quality engineering e-books in the Knovel database, such as the Process / industrial instruments and controls handbook, Guidelines for safe handling of powders and bulk solids, the Industrial waste treatment handbook, and pharmaceutical production - an engineering guide and e-journals, such as the latest issue of the Journal of Process Engineering from the IMechE Proceedings. The wide-range of information available means that you can use the Virtual Library as a quick on-the-job reference tool, as well as for more in-depth research. The Virtual Library is available to you wherever you are, 24 hours a day, and it is completely free - log-in to the member's area
If you have any questions about using the Virtual Library, please don’t hesitate to contact the Information and Library Service. The ILS team is happy to search any of the databases on your behalf.
