"Research libraries find unique value in our services", says Christopher Forbes, CEO of Knovel.
"Not only do we offer references essential to every science and engineering library, we provide access to a research tool that is widely adopted in the corporate marketplace, a tool that students will undoubtedly encounter in their careers".
"Knovel's technology is unique because it aggregates text together with databases in an indexing structure that allows an unlimited number of products to work together", says John Saylor, Director of Collection Development, Cornell University.
"Featurewise, Knovel is highly developed to meet the special needs of engineers and scientists".
"It has a fully searchable environment, allowing searching for properties and equations".
"Other special features such as Graph Plotter are not available in other systems", adds Janny Lai, Assistant Librarian, Collection Development, University of Hong Kong Libraries.
