-- Additions Further Knovel`s Delivery of the Most Relevant and Reliable
Engineering Content, Including New Topic Areas for Sustainable Energy and
Development --
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Knovel, an online resource that helps engineers find reliable technical
information faster, today announces partnerships with five new publishers.
Knovel content is sourced from more than 50 international publishers and
professional societies. These new partnerships contribute significantly to
Knovel`s 30 percent growth in content over the past year, including new topic
areas for Sustainable Energy and Development.

Knovel has added the following publishers to its roster:

* American Oil Chemists Society
* Cambridge University Press
* Earthscan
* Synapse Information Resources
* Water Environment Federation

"We`re excited to be onboard, contributing to Knovel`s reliable technical
resource," said Irene Ash, president of Synapse Information Resources. "As a
part of this information community, we can now provide Knovel`s subscribers with
access to our knowledge base of integrated data. It will help them identify
chemicals and materials by a variety of synonyms and attributes in order to
solve difficult problems more effectively, and, ultimately, increase their
productivity."

Knovel stands apart from other resources by providing optimized engineering
search and allowing users to interact with specialized digital objects. Whereas
traditional print and online reference works typically present tabular data,
charts, graphs and equations, Knovel transforms these elements into interactive
objects, making them far easier to work with. Using interactive objects, Knovel
customers can search for data within numerical ranges, manipulate tabular data,
plot points on graphs and export results. Knovel has nearly 50,000 interactive
objects within its collection and will add 4,000 more in 2009 as it continues to
attract and add new publishers.

Publisher John Wiley and Sons, Inc. is a long time Knovel partner. Janet Bailey,
vice president and director of book publishing, physical sciences, stated,
"Knovel does a good job of adding value by making our content interactive. Not
only does Knovel expand the reach of our engineering content, but it also makes
that content even more useful to subscribers."
