When it comes to research, conferences are critical.
And when it comes to indexing conference proceedings, no other sources rival the current, multidisciplinary coverage offered by the Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® and the Index to Social Sciences & Humanities Proceedings®.
Because they index at the paper level, these reference volumes tell you what research papers have been presented at conferences around the world — in hundreds of key disciplines—long before they appear in journals or other indexes. Much of it is breakthrough work. And all of it is too important to wait months to know about.
So the next time you search the literature, make sure you get the complete picture. Search the conference proceedings, too. With /S7P®and ISSHP®.

“Teamwork is a primary reason EBSCO has successfully served the serials management needs of librarians for so many years. Our concept of providing subscription service is based on teams of dedicated employees serving customers in specific regions. My staff and I serve libraries in the Mountain/Plains States while eight other U.S. teams handle the serials needs of customers from Maine to Alaska to the Virgin Islands. And there are 17 more EBSCO offices located throughout the world, all fully staffed with a work force of serials professionals committed to working toward one goal.
“Maintaining a team effort is a lot of work. It requires constant communication, cooperation and corrective action from everyone.
We stress that every job and every detail, no matter how small, is important to the superior service our customers have come to expect. And we take nothing for granted.”
Juanita O’Neall
Vice President/General Manager
Denver, CO Regional Office
At EBSCO, we think librarians deserve to be served by a service-oriented subscription agency. Don’t you?
