New Engineering & Scientific database

Knovel Corporation is one of our newest vendors offering access to nearly 700 engineering and scientific reference books, handbooks, standards, and databases. Knovel has added the ability to interactively manipulate and search for content across this entire collection. Using Internet Explorer, the Knovel site is only a click away at www.knovel.com. We arranged to have Bucknell IP authentication so you will never be asked for a Login to "open" a book.

Users can use keyword and/or data searches. The new chemical structure searching feature even allows users to even draw the chemical compound before searching. Users have the flexibility of navigating through e-References page-by-page or to search across the site and manipulate interactive tables, graphs, equations, spreadsheets, and other structured information.

Knovel books include Perry’s Chemical Engineers Handbook, Lange’s Handbook of Chemistry, and a host of titles in Engineering, including Mark’s Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers and the ASME Boiler and Pressure vessel codes. All of the Knovel titles will soon be included as links in our Online Catalog.

From the Knovel home page click on Help Center and/or Explore Knovel Features to get you started. Enjoy Knovel and happy searching.

Where Are the Maps and Atlases?

Maps and atlases have been moved from the first floor of the library to the rear section of lower level one. Books related to Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have also been relocated to this area. Four public computers and a laser printer are available here, along with comfortable seating.
