1. EEVL site redesign
Do you groan when a service you use updates its interface, 
thinking "Oh no!  Something else that's new and has to be re-
learnt"?  EEVL, the Internet gateway for engineering, has updated 
and completely redesigned its Web site, but not to worry - it's very 
obvious how the new site works.  The new design makes the 
purpose of the site much clearer.  It looks and feels like a 
searchable and browsable guide to engineering resources.  There 
is one search box, and whatever engineering topic is entered, you 
should get results, if not from the catalogue of nearly 5,000 
resources, then from the associated search engines covering tens 
of thousands of Web pages and newsgroup messages.  For more 
complex searches, click on More Options.  The other EEVL 
services, including free bibliographic databases, are clearly 
signposted, and a new feature is Hot Links to useful resources.

2. AERADE in EEVL
EEVL is delighted to announce that the Aerospace and Defence 
Engineering section of EEVL is now provided by AERADE at 
Cranfield University.  This section will be rapidly expanding in the 
coming weeks, and is the result of cooperation facilitated by the 
Resource Discovery Network (RDN) through the EMC Hub.  At the 
present time, Spacecraft Engineering resources are available.

3. WWW Virtual Library for Engineering 
EEVL is now officially also the WWW Virtual Library for 
Engineering.  This means that EEVL has become the top level for 
engineering in the oldest catalogue of the Web, started by Tim 
Berners-Lee.  The WWWVL is widely regarded as being amongst 
the highest-quality guides to particular sections of the Web.

4. New collaboration 
rswww.com, Europe's leading distributor of electronic, electrical 
and mechanical components, and the Engineering Sciences Data 
Unit (ESDU), providers of validated engineering design data, are 
collaborating with EEVL in the new site design.  EEVL will, 
however, remain completely independent. 

5. 2.25 million hits
EEVL recently recorded its 2.25 millionth hit!

6. In the coming weeks, EEVL will be expanding and sub-dividing 
its browsable subject headings, to make it easier to locate 
resources.

7. EEVL Challenge
There is still time to enter the EEVL Challenge 
http://www.eevl.ac.uk/challenge/ 
and win prizes - palmtop computers, £500 worth of Newnes books, 
a Web site design package, sweatshirts and posters.

EEVL is funded through the Joint Information Systems 
Committee's RDN.
