Elsevier recently unveiled a redesign of its Knovel platform for engineers. The platform offers 4,000-plus reference books and databases from technical publishers and societies in 30 subject areas such as biochemistry, biology, and biotechnology; industrial engineering and operations management; and sustainable energy and development. Users can also take advantage of Elsevier-produced information called "Knovel Critical Content," which provides material that is not available from Elsevier's publisher and learned-society partners.
The revamp, launched on Sept. 9, emphasizes data searches, matching the workflow and needs of engineers.

As it has all along, Knovel provides handy extras such as an online
