An EASIER way to search online engineering resource
EEVL, the Edinburgh Engineering Virtual Library, consists of several distinct resources, which exist as separate databases. This article describes the approach taken to tackle a particular problem that was identified through evaluation studies, namely, that searches of the EEVL catalogue too frequently matched no records. The solution described in this paper is a cross‐search facility for three of the EEVL databases.
