JISC Collections, the membership organisation that supports the provision of digital content for education and research in the UK, and Knovel have signed a new three year agreement which gives UK universities and colleges streamlined access to Knovel. Knovel is a Web-based application integrating technical information with analytical and search tools.
Knovel is used in over 300 universities worldwide and more than 30 universities in the UK have independent licenses, including Imperial College, UCL and Manchester. It is also used by major employers of engineering and science graduates, such as BP, Arup, Unilever and GlaxoSmithKline.
Knovel works with a network of more than 90 recognised societies and publishing partners to provide validated technical references and data across 29 subject areas in engineering and science disciplines. Using Knovel, students can conduct research, select materials, manipulate graphs, charts and equations, document and share research on team projects.
