- Facets (filters) that can be re-ordered with drag-and-drop functionality
- A search history available on the home page, directly below all search forms
- An option to display up to 50, 75, or 100 results at one time
- Enhanced interoperability with ScienceDirect and Scopus, allowing librarians and researchers to reduce search time and to access information more efficiently
Engineering Village is geared specifically toward engineers, engineering students, researchers, and affiliated information professionals to ensure each can gain desktop access to the critical information, intelligence, and research tools they need to succeed. It offers a powerful web-based discovery platform featuring a broad range of scholarly literature, trade publications, patents, hard-to-find conference proceedings, technical reports, and engineering information.
