Jessica Lindholm, Tomas Schonthal and Kjell Jansson describe the background to and the work involved in setting up Engine-e, a Web index that uses automatic classification as a means for the selection of resources in Engineering. Considerations in offering a robot-generated Web index as a successor to a manually indexed quality-controlled subject gateway are also discussed.[Main Articles: ‘Experiences of Harvesting Web Resources in Engineering using Automatic Classification’, Ariadne Issue 37]
