["Laura Cox" <laura.cox@frontlinegms.com>]

New York, NY, September 24, 2007, Knovel, the leading provider of 
online technical references, has announced today that a further 
15 academic institutions from 11 countries have become Knovel 
subscribers, bringing the number of academic subscribers to over 
280.

Knovel now has academic subscribers in 44 countries world-wide 
and supplies valuable technical references to over 50% of the top 
technology universities in the world.  In the last 3 months 
Knovel has added the following new academic institutions as 
subscribers:

*         Arhus Tekniske Bibliotek, Denmark
*         Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece
*         Iowa State University, USA

*         University of Surrey, UK

Zofia. E. Brinkman, Engineering Librarian at TU Delft said, 
"Until now we found the usability of e-books too poor to offer a 
genuine alternative to printed resources for serious academic 
study. The strength of Knovel over other providers is that it 
adds real value, the interactive features are extremely 
impressive, as is the search functionality. E-books should not be 
seen as a replacement of existing information resources but 
rather as a supplement and we are delighted to be able to provide 
our users with access to Knovel."

Chris Forbes, CEO of Knovel said, "The rapid expansion of 
Knovel's academic subscriber list is a wonderful endorsement of 
our success in helping clients find relevant and reliable info 
faster. We are also excited about the number of librarians and 
academics working to integrate Knovel into the curriculum to give 
students experience solving real-world problems."
