Knovel

Knovel is a key Engineering online database of eBooks and related resources.  You can browse the collection of eBooks from a subject list or use the search boxes to search across the full text content of the site.

Knovel also has a range of interactive tools useful to the engineer such as a materials property search, an equations search, the periodic table and interactive graphs.

You can access Knovel from the link below.

The video below is from a live Database Focus session and includes a live demonstration.

The following video is a more polished recording based on a longer set of slides with no live demonstration.  The slides for this video are available from the Additional Documents tab.


Knovel have produced the video below to demonstrate how to use the range of resources in a fun way, using the beer brewing process as an example.

Additional support for the Database Focus sessions are available as Word or PDF files.
