Read a good "Knovel" lately? Bucknell now has online access to the Knovel Electronic Library (www.knovel.com), a collection of over 800 books and databases of science and engineering information. Besides being able to browse the titles or search the entire Library, Knovel includes productivity tools (interactive tables, graphs and live equations) that allow users to work within Knovel to analyze the data they find.
And to make things more interesting, Knovel is now offering the "University Challenge." Students can navigate to http://www.info.knovel.com/challenge/ and answer 5 questions using the tools in the Knovel Library. Correct answers will enter you in a drawing for iPod prizes, and the chance to win a $1500 scholarship.
Knovel puts important reference books like Perry's Chemical Engineering Handbook, Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, and Mark's Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers right on your desktop computer. Any Bucknell student, staff, or faculty member can access the Library from a networked computer. Try it out and win the Challenge!
