摘要：Given the interdisciplinarity of engineering design, and the need of a swift access to an up-to-date bibliography on the subject, the production of a design database becomes an imperative and challenging task. This is how two designers of the McGill NSERC Chair in Design Engineering teamed up with two expert librarians, also of McGill University, in an attempt to produce a database with a search engine that caters to designers at large, with special emphasis on engineers. The Design Bibliography Database aims at helping engineering designers, and designers at large to some extent, find bibliography items on specific topics of their multidiscipline. The first task to face is how to order the extremely rich literature on the subject. The bibliography database is currently being developed under the DBDB Project, as reported here.
