We invite researchers and students in the fields of technology sciences to explore the renewed AccessEngineering database, now available through the VILNIUS TECH subscription. The platform introduces a completely redesigned, modern interface that makes it easier to find relevant information. This new version is more user-friendly and visually appealing. The enhanced search bar allows users to filter results by content type in advance. In addition, the improved search results interface groups content effectively, and new quick filters for book content help users narrow down results to exactly what they are looking for.
Special tools available within user accounts allow for in-book content searching, switching to "reading mode," fast and easy PDF downloading, citation generation, link sharing, and text highlighting.

We remind you that AccessEngineering is a unique, interactive engineering learning platform developed by McGraw Hill, a leading U.S. academic publisher. In addition to scholarly content from electronic books and standards, the platform offers practical, solution-oriented learning resources.

The content in engineering and related fields is further enhanced with dynamic teaching and learning tools, such as interactive graphs, tables, diagrams, Excel spreadsheets with formulas, the DataVis data visualization tool, and over a thousand educational videos, including lecture slides and themed modules. These tools support instructors in curriculum planning and help students better absorb the material.

Key features and useful tools include:

• Keyword, topic title, formula, and table-based search capabilities. Users can also browse by engineering disciplines such as mechanical, civil, chemical, electrical, biomedical, and others.
• Filtering options by source type: textbooks, videos, tables, spreadsheets.
• Interactive Excel spreadsheets: useful for thermal calculations, flow analysis, material strength, etc.—beneficial for both instructors and project work.
• DataVis – an interactive visualization tool for exploring material properties.
• Visual content and teaching modules: short lessons, explanations of engineering processes, animations – ideal for use in lectures.
• Citation tools – easy export to EndNote, Zotero, RefWorks.
• Integration of electronic resources into course materials, including the ability to incorporate specific textbook chapters into recommended reading lists. Videos or spreadsheets can supplement lecture content, while students can complete assignments using real engineering data from AccessEngineering.
• Creating a personal account allows users to save searches and results, bookmark sources, and fully utilize interactive tools and spreadsheets.

To access the AccessEngineering database, connect through the VILNIUS TECH computer network. Remote access is available via the university's VPN service. When using the VPN, two-factor authentication (e.g., confirmation via mobile app or phone call) is required for security.
