We would very much appreciate your feedback so that we can scope the type of service you really need. http://www.icbl.hw.ac.uk/perx/news/index.htm#pilot A basic pilot engineering cross-repository search tool is now available. Futher content sources will be added, and feedback sought, over the coming months.
