TechXtra, the free service for finding material in engineering, mathematics and computing, has added new sources to its cross-search. Now, it's possible to search across 31 major collections (over 4 million items) for articles, eprints, technical reports, books, theses & dissertations, teaching & learning resources, the latest industry news and job announcements.

| In addition, TechXtra has partnered with GlobalSpec to provide a free Patents and Standards search facility. They have also increased the coverage of OneStep Industry News and Job Announcement services by adding numerous new sources. There are also new, free, trade magazine subscriptions available, and they've also made some enhancements to the service which make it easier to use.
