Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Free Trial

The library currently has a free trial to the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) digital library. The database includes 24 online journals, as well as a multitude of e-books. You can access it from on campus from this url: http://www.icevirtuallibrary.com/

(You can access it from off-campus using the Stevens VPN connection. Directions for doing so are here: http://www.stevens.edu/itwiki/w/index.php/VPN)

Decisions about permanent access to these journals and e-books will be based on usage during the trial (as well as budget).
