Abstrakt: The engineering library plays a critical role in initiating and maintaining the conduit between vendors of engineering information and the users of that information-faculty, students, and researchers. Likewise, vendors play a key role in supporting library, and faculty efforts, to promote science and engineering information resources, beyond just supplying content and interface. Science and engineering libraries, and vendors, can effectively work together to get the most from electronic resources for both large and small institutions. The case studies here show how Knovel Corporation, a sci-tech e-book vendor, has worked with librarians at large and small institutions, and with faculty members to promote awareness and usage of Knovel's interactive library of electronic books for science and engineering education.
