EDINA to run Compendex from December 1998
-----------------------------------------
This is to announce that EDINA has been selected by the JISC to host the
Compendex Service for the UK higher education community.
This service will be run in conjunction with the Edinburgh Engineering
Virtual Library (EEVL) and is due to be launched on 6 December 1998.
Compendex*Plus and Page One from Engineering Information (Ei) are key
bibliographic databases for the engineering profession and for research
and teaching in higher education. Further description of the content of
Ei Compendex databases may be found at
http://www.ei.org/eihome/services/cpx/cpx_fact.htm
Subscriptions to allow access to this online service should be taken out
from CHEST.
The EDINA Compendex Service will be accessible via World Wide Web desktop
browsers and via Telnet, and will be fully compliant with Athens3
authentication. Further details of the service, including opportunity to
preview the intended user interface and functionality, will shortly be
made available at
