McGraw-Hill Professional Announces Launch of AccessEngineering

For more than a century, McGraw-Hill has served the engineering community with authoritative and up-to-date information. Today, McGraw-Hill Professional continues that tradition with the launch of AccessEngineering (www.AccessEngineeringLibrary.com), a comprehensive aggregation of the best engineering content published in the past decade. Derived from a selection of more than 250 engineering handbooks, monographs, and textbooks, AccessEngineering supports multiple levels of scientific and technical research in the academic, corporate, industrial, and government sectors. Developed from the highly successful Digital Engineering Library, AccessEngineering will also feature a popular Pay-Per-View (PPV) access for 48 hours for individuals, in addition to one-year subscriptions to institutions.

AccessEngineering offers a broad and deep repository of fully searchable engineering content from industry-leading books that engineers have trusted and depended on for years. Updated biweekly with all new content, the site delivers authoritative information that accelerates research, innovation, and problem-solving, while featuring content from a broad range of must-have McGraw-Hill Professional engineering publications, including the latest editions of classics such as Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, Perry's Chemical Engineers Handbook, Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers, Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain, and many others.

In order to accommodate the needs of engineers to have access to a broad and growing body of technical knowledge, AccessEngineering focuses on 14 major subject areas, ranging from Mechanical and Civil Engineering to Green and Optical Engineering. Subscribers to the service will also gain access to the world-renowned McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Engineering, which is embedded on all search pages, offering access to more than 18,000 entries containing synonyms, acronyms, abbreviations, and a pronunciation guide.

"With engineering professionals and students increasingly pressured to work as fast and as accurately as possible, AccessEngineering provides an ideal platform for them to quickly and easily find the exact technical content they need within McGraw-Hill's industry-leading engineering titles," said Steve Chapman, publisher at McGraw-Hill Professional.
