covering over 30 years of engineering research
literature including full text articles. A
bibliographic database containing over 5 million
records and references to more than 5,000
engineering journals and conferences, Ei's version
of Compendex is updated frequently to ensure that
you have access to critical new developments in your

Website
Abstracts
Engineering Village 2 provides value-added access to
more than 10,000 website abstracts. The abstracts
have all been indexed using the Ei Thesaurus, as for
Compendex, to ensure consistent search results
across both databases. In addition, all the websites
have been selected, reviewed and evaluated based on
research value, technical content and relevant
information, and experts in each discipline have
evaluated the sites for inclusion. These experts are
currently assigning quality rankings, based on
content, ease-of-use, presentation, and organization
of information.
