TCD Library began an annual subscription to Knovel, an e-book collection aimed at engineers and scientists, on October 1, 2009. The subscription provides full access to the 20 subject sections (over 1,800 titles) in the Knovel collection (excluding the Premium Content). In addition, TCD Library subscribed to both Transportation AND Industrial Engineering and Operations Management.

This is one of our largest aggregated collection of e-books serving the needs of staff and students and contains interesting value-added features.

The Knovel trainer will provide an introduction to the content coverage, how to browse, search and use the personalisation feature, My Knovel. Knovel enables users to extract data from the books for further analysis and the session will focus further on Knovel’s data analysis tools.

This database of e-books can be accessed from the Library's databases page at present. Records for the books will be uploaded into the catalogue in due course.
