Introducing 3 New Online services for 1981

Place your reservation today for a FREE workshop describing ISI/BIOMED™, ISI/ISTP&B^TM or ISI/CompuMath™—the distinctive, new data bases designed to make your online searches quicker, easier, more comprehensive.

ISI/BIOMED is a user-friendly system which produces high-precision biomedical bibliographies. Nearly 1,300 biomedical journals from 1979 to the present will be indexed, and users may search by article title words, source journals, cited papers, and by a new search capability—research front specialties. Research front specialty searching permits you to enter a code number for a highly specific research front and quickly retrieve a bibliography of recent articles relevant to that specialty. Over 2,700 search fronts, accessible through ISII BIOMED, are listed in the guide which every subscriber receives.

ISI/lSTP&B(Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings & Books)is the only multidisciplinary online data base to scientific proceedings and books. Covering virtually every scientific and technical discipline, ISI/ISTP&B will make retrospective and current awareness searching, bibliographic verification, and acquisitions of proceedings and multiauthored books fast and easy. Over 10,000 proceedings (from books and journals) which appear in the printed Index to Scientilic & Technical Proceedings®, plus over 2,000 books (including annual review series), will be covered and indexed at the chapter level. Publications from 1978 to the present will be covered initially, and each month 300 new proceedings and books will be added.

ISI/CompuMath provides access to the core literature in the fields of general and applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, and operations research/ management science. Nearly 300 journals and multi-authored books will be covered from 1976 to the present. Like ISI/BIOMED, the user friendly CompuMath system will provide users with the unique research front specialty searching capability. And ISII CompuMath is only one part of a comprehensive package of information services for these disciplines. Also Included in the CompuMath subscription service are a monthly current awareness edition of Current Contents® which reproduces tables of contents from recently-published journals and books; and an annual index featuring author, title word, and citation indexes.
