      The vendor ISI, will be offering training on searching the Web of 
Science.  This product is used frequently to confirm the frequency an 
author's papers are cited, to assist with tenure review, and many other 
applications.

      If you anticipate using any of the 3 databases included, we highly 
recommend you attend.  The Web of Science has many "ins and outs" 
that make the database challenging to ensure you retrieve the correct 
results.

      WEB OF SCIENCE is a multidisciplinary database, with searchable 
author abstracts, covering the literature of the sciences, social sciences 
and the arts & humanities. Users may choose to search across all the
databases, or select just one. 

      This unique database indexes and links cited references for each 
article. All formats provide complete bibliographic data and additional 
features, such as cited reference searching, links to related articles, 
plus author and publisher addresses. 

Features
--------
      
      * Cited Reference Searching -- You can search the citation data (the
footnotes of each article), taking a known relevant paper and finding
other, more recent, papers that cite it. You can locate all cited
authors, not just first authors, for articles in the database. 

      * Related Records -- You can find records that share one or more
cited references, yielding additional relevant results. 


Web of Science contains 3 separate databases:
---------------------------------------------

      * Science Citation Index Expanded

      SCI-EXPANDED is a multidisciplinary database with searchable author
abstracts, covering the journal literature of the sciences. It indexes
more than 5 800 journals in 164 scientific disciplines. Includes cited
references and cited references to patents. Over 18,000 new articles are
added each week. Access to earlier years (1964-1999) is available in
hardcopy in the Index section of the Engineering & Science Library. 

      * Social Sciences Citation Index 

      SSCI covers 4700 of the world's leading social science journals,
      either comprehensively or selectively, plus a limited number of
monographic series. Documents indexed include articles, proceedings,
editorials, letters, meeting reports and book reviews. Access to earlier
years (1973-1999) is available in hardcopy in the Index section of Hunt
Reference. 

      * Arts & Humanities Citation Index
            
      A&HCI covers 1300 of the world's leading arts and humanities journals,
plus a selection of related social science journals. Documents indexed
include articles, bibliographies, editorials, letters and reviews.
Access to earlier years (1980-present) is available through Arts &
Humanities Search, a FirstSearch database.
