FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
"Day Pass" Premium Search Service Introduced on Engineering Village ™
Gives Engineering Researchers Comprehensiveness, Reliability and Intelligence Unmatched By Web Search Engines
New York, N.Y., 12 June 2006 - Engineering Information (www.ei.org) announced today the introduction of Engineering Village Day Pass to provide engineering researchers with a more flexible, more comprehensive and more intelligent research service. Day Pass is a new instant access option, offering 24 hour use of the Compendex® database on Engineering Village. Compendex is the most comprehensive and authoritative database of published engineering literature spanning over 35 years of content. Engineering Village is an award winning web research tool designed for engineering research.
Engineering Village enables engineering professionals to make decisions that progress their work with speed and confidence. When engineering work depends on scientific or technological advancement, engineering professionals need greater assurances that they are investing their time and organizational resources wisely.
Day Pass was built for engineering professionals with periodic needs for high quality scientific and technical information. Instead of requiring annual contracts, Day Pass provides these professionals with the option to purchase access to information on an as needed basis, as high value projects require. By offering this premium research service on a per-day basis, engineering professionals can turn to Engineering Village when research needs simply can not be met by web search. Instead of being required to plan for these needs on a longer term basis, professionals now have greater flexibility in their research options.
"When the stakes are high, engineering professionals need the highest levels of confidence in the information sources they use in their work. And with today’s pressure on R&D professionals to quickly make high impact decisions, searching using free web resources is far too time consuming” explained Colby Ellis, CEO of Ei. “Day Pass was developed to offer engineering professionals just-in-time access to a proven research service on a project-by-project basis. Now that Ei provides this type of confidence for less than fifty dollars and without obligation, can researchers really afford not to use a premium service?"
"Day Pass offers a fixed daily price combined with an unlimited access model. During a purchased twenty-four hour subscription period, a user can perform an unlimited number of searches and view an unlimited number of records. Costs do not escalate based on searches performed and will not increase based on the number of records viewed. Access is available for flat rate of $49.95 per day and can be purchased via credit card."
Under a special Day Pass launch promotion, a select number of users will receive a free Day Pass. These users may then pass along a free day of access to up to five friends or colleagues. During the promotional period, each of those friends or colleagues will in turn be able to send free Day Passes to their friends and colleagues. Members of the press may inquire about receiving a free Day Pass by contacting eicustomersupport@elsevier.com.
