Product Description
This dictionary contains 4,102 German terms and their English equivalents followed by field(s) of application and definitions. Apart from the synonyms and abbreviations referring to the parent terms, a unique feature of this dictionary is that relevant concepts and processes have been explained for a better understanding of the terms. It also contains terms from the areas of thermal power engineering, namely: boilers, power plant chemistry, coal, control and instrumentation, material sciences, metallurgy, thermodynamics and so on. Unlike most bilingual dictionaries, this dictionary provides an English index at the end, which will certainly be an added advantage to the user. A host of reference materials, such as scientific journals, technical reference books, lexicons, guidelines, standards, patents and bilingual product literature were consulted to make the terms as authentic and up-to-date as possible. A team of experts from specialized areas of power engineering rendered valuable assistance in editing the definitions of various terms. The dictionary is useful to scientists, engineers and other professional translators engaged in the field.

Product Description
On October 1, 2002, the Katholieke Universitet Leuven inaugurated its new library for its Sciences and Engineering campus. This unique occasion was celebrated with an academic session. It was felt, however, that an academic institution should not let such an occasion pass by without organizing a critical reflection on the role of the library for the Sciences in the 21st century.

Contents include: "The delicate balance between centralization and decentralization: the New library structure at Lund University, Sweden," "E-learning and digital libraries: How to link science with information in a networked society," "Who pays the ferryman? About new models for scientific communication," "Fragile, Handle with Care!: the Preservation of Digital Materials," "Firenze University Press: An Italian initiative for electronic publishing," "Scholarly Publishing: Leuven University Press," "Managing challenges of the academic library: Shift the paradigm and put the library on the move," "Knowledge Management: Old news!?," "Quantitative Aspects of the Management of the modern (scientific Library," "Logistics, Physical Organization of a Library, Problems related to New Buildings," "Sleeping with the enemy: Experiments in Wageningen with a model for cohabitation between library and publisher," "Information Provision: the Challenge of developing Countries," "Librarian's! Schizophrenia: Big Deal vs. Open Access," "Today's Libraries: (r)evolutionary yours." ... Read more
