Scientific and medical information resources provider McGraw-Hill Professional, US, has announced enhancements to AccessEngineering platform, featuring technological and user interface improvements.
Redesigned to meet the needs of engineering professionals, students and faculty, the online reference features a completely new user interface. The aim is to provide users with faster, more accurate and more relevant searches; improved navigation; and a curated aggregation of up to the minute global engineering news.
AccessEngineering's assemblage of content includes thousands of interactive tables and graphs; more than 100 instructional videos and animations depicting core engineering concepts; and curricula maps designed to help faculty more effectively integrate use of engineering content in the classroom and accelerate learning outcomes for students.
In April 2012, McGraw-Hill will roll out new usage reporting features and personalisation tools that allow students, faculty and engineers to further integrate AccessEngineering content into their workflows.
In the second half of 2012, AccessEngineering will offer a new subject category - Operations Management - featuring some of McGraw-Hill's best-known reference works, such as The Six Sigma Handbook and Juran's Quality Handbook. This category expansion is seen to prove especially valuable to every engineer - across the broad range of engineering disciplines - tasked with innovation through continuous improvement of production processes. AccessEngineering is available in the US and globally through McGraw-Hill and its subsidiaries.
The new AccessEngineering platform was developed by Semantico, claimed to be widely recognised by the publishing and library communities for its innovative solutions in digital content development.
