Designed to meet classroom and research needs across a range of engineering disciplines\u2014such as aerospace, mechanical, nuclear, and civil\u2014the collection brings together nuanced information about complex case studies into one database. It aims to incorporate diverse perspectives and materials, presented in a balanced way, to enable through analysis. Pulling together 250 hours of video and 50,000 pages of full-text material upon completion, the collected materials include video documentaries and primary footage, audio transcripts and witness testimony; images, maps, accident reports, blueprints, and other key archival content, monographs and articles, as well as timelines and simulations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More Standards<\/em><\/p>\n The library has add many new standards to the standards database, TechStreet (http:\/\/purl.lib.uiowa.edu\/TechStreet<\/a>), as well as adding the standards produced by ASCE (http:\/\/purl.lib.uiowa.edu\/asce<\/a>).

Each lecture covers, for that topic, the fundamental principles in a unified manner, develops underlying concepts needed for sequential material, and progresses to more advanced topics. <\/p>\n More DVDs<\/em><\/p>\n Over the last year, we\u2019ve add a variety of new DVDs to the Library.\u00a0 Series include: Mythbusters, Junkyard Wars, How it\u2019s Made, Extreme Engineering, etc. http:\/\/www.lib.uiowa.edu\/eng\/engineering-related-dvds\/<\/a><\/p>\n ————————————————–<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 RefWorks Discontinued<\/strong><\/p>\n Starting January 1, 2015 RefWorks and Write-N-Cite will no longer be available for free from the UI Libraries.
