EI Engineering Village, which includes Compendex and Inspec, has just introduced social bookmarking. You can tag, edit and share records in the database. You can create groups by inviting people with the same research interest as you to join and then share tagged records. You must create a personal account in Engineering Village to use the feature. Engineering Village also advises that if you want more information about social bookmarking, go to www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomy

Other Engineering Village Features – weekly RSS feeds and weekly email alerts

Engineering Village also allows you to receive weekly search results via RSS feeds. You must have RSS feed software on your computer to use the feature. Alternatively you could use the database’s weekly email alerts feature. When using the RSS feature or the weekly email alert, it is a good idea to first spend time refining your search to get exactly what you need. To set up E-mail alerts from the Saved Searches page you must create a personal account within Engineering Village.
