Gary Price, An Exceptionally "EEVL" Search Resource, SearchDay, November 22, 2004. Excerpt: 'One of the most respected engineering gateways on the web has just released four new databases providing free access to hundreds of online scientific and technical journals. I've written several SearchDay articles about the Resource Discovery Network (here, here and here). The RDN is an amazing set of non-commercial subject directories and other tools) including EEVL a subject gateway where the focus is on engineering, mathematics, and computing. If you've never visited EEVL and the other RDN sites, you should. EEVL has now launched four new subject-focused databases that provide free access to a couple of hundred ejournals in several disciplines. The computing database searches the content of 60 freely available full-text ejournals in computing. The math database searches the content of 28 freely available full-text ejournals in mathematics. The engineering database searches the content of 160 freely available full-text ejournals in engineering. The last one is a metasearch of the three databases described above.'

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
