Flyer   Looking for technical information on the web?   You are tired of a confusing multitude of online information in engineering and technology unstructured access difficulties in assessing reliability, completeness, and currency of Internet services getting several thousand hits when using search engines? There is a solution.   Welcome to the Virtuelle Fachbibliothek Technik ViFaTec!   Our aim: ViFaTec offers structured access to relevant technical online information for engineers, technicians and scientists.ViFaTec's outstanding feature is its integration into the services of German National Library of Science and Technology. Our extensive resources, our know-how, and our experience give you high quality information filtered by our subject specialists ViFaTec offers access to printed as well as electronic documents from various sources. Our objectives: Retrieval of relevant information from the enormous amount of available networked technical information is increasingly problematic. Changing URLs, homepage redesigns and new content lead to extensive, time-consuming searching. ViFaTec is a highly qualified and systematic subject information system which gives integrated access with special emphasis on information source quality. ViFaTec provides the opportunity for you to discover and use subject-relevant, electronic, and conventional information sources. These sources are made available free of charge as far as possible. The essence of our selection is relevance - hence fee based sources are also included. Checking their contents descriptions will help you to decide what might be of use to you. Which information are included:   All information sources which are important to engineers are integrated into our information system. In addition to conventional sources there are new forms of online information such as co-operational exchanges, stock exchanges for second-hand equipment, networks of experts, discussion lists, etc.   Structure of the Virtuelle Fachbibliothek Technik:   The Virtuelle Fachbibliothek Technik is composed of a set of modules which will facilitate your search.   Using the Vifatec navigation bar, you can trace your way through the different Virtuelle Fachbibliothek Technik modules. The current page is coloured grey and not equipped with interactive functionality. The navigation bar has also a button for an English language version.   Your assistance:   Information about new subject-relevant Internet resources are sometimes hard to get. Unfortunately Internet sources reviews (such as "Scout Report" or "Internet Resources Newsletter") record only a fraction of new relevant sites. This is true especially for European sources. To stay on top of the developments one has to work regularly through a multitude of discussion lists and scientific journals (both from the information and the engineering areas). We are aware that there are a number of relevant sites which we do not know of.   Therefore we would ask you to remember Virtuelle Fachbibliothek Technik at TIB in your particular working environment. Please let us know of any new or interesting sites by clicking on "Suggest a Resource".   We are happy to receive your feedback! Your ViFaTec-Team
