About SudVEL-SKN
This
Pilot Project
is supported by UNESCO in partnership with Australian Virtual Engineering
Library (AVEL-SKN), World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO),
Sustainable Alternatives Network (SANet) and the Foundation Ecole
d'Ingenieurs EPF) through the International Institute of Women in
Engineering (IIWE).
Project Periods: 15 December 2003 to 15 February 2004
Specific
objectives
The objective of this project is preparing and
establishing a website on "Virtual Library on Engineering for Sustainable
Development" as a pilot project. The existing data and information in the
field of engineering and sustainable development will be transformed into
a digital form and stored in this virtual library. This digital library
should also be part of the learning environment for the Faculty of
Engineering.
Project Phases
The first phase of the project involves the
development of a ‘Bibliographic Level' prototype
version of SVEL-SKN including research material and directories of
institutions and experts. This involves the integration of existing
databases, further selection of relevant international content,
development of the web-interface and
usability testing.
The second phase of the project is anticipated to
focus on the increased digitization to ‘Full Text' of the extensive
library of hardcopy research material and thesis reports held by the
Faculty of Engineering and Architecture. (Such a process will be widely
applicable in the University.)
