6 July 2000

Technical Books, Standards, and Professional Training All in One Search

    ANN ARBOR, Mich. - In a defining move for technical professionals worldwide, CSSINFO today launched a new Web site offering an immense collection of technical information products and the tools to obtain them quickly and easily.

    The new site, www.cssinfo.com, enables visitors to search and order online over 450,000 technical publications including 400,000 technical books, 65,000 industry standards, and 5,000 professional training products. Over 20,000 industry standards are downloadable in PDF including ASTM, API, ISO, AWWA, ISA, and more.

    The information collection covers a vast range of subjects including: Aerospace, Automotive, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computers and Internet, Electrical Engineering, Energy, Information Technology, Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering, Quality Management, Telecommunications, and more.

    The Web site's intuitive interface allows users to quickly and easily find the information they need by choosing a specific product type, browsing through a detailed subject hierarchy, or doing a single topical search that finds all available product types.

    "We're excited about the one-stop search and the time savings it promises for technical professionals," said Gregg Hammerman, President, CSSINFO. "The new site more than quadruples our previous information content and pushes CSSINFO one step closer to being the definitive information resource for technical professionals worldwide."

    Andrew Bank, Vice President, CSSINFO said, "Our customers have asked for more information and faster delivery and we've answered the call. For example, a technical professional who needs the latest information on ISO 9000 can search for the most appropriate standards, books, and training, read about recommended products, and place an order for overnight delivery. In many cases, she could actually download the documents right to her desktop."

    CSSINFO also launched its new database today on all its partner sites including SoluSource, Engineering Information (Ei), eFunda.com, and others.
