The ISI Web of Knowledge SM Helping you
The ISI Web of Knowledge. SM Helping you meet today’s digital library challenges Jeff Clovis Director, Global Sales Support December 2002 Online Information, London
The Digital Library Dilemma • Integration is still the issue – And there is still no “magic solution” that will meet the needs of every library user and every library management function • More players means “marketplace shopping” is now required – Integrated Library System (ILS) vendors do not necessarily have the best system modules; i. e. one can no longer assume that the best OPAC provider will also be to provide the best links server • Shrinking budgets demand smarter choices for content and tools – For content and tools, even if it means moving from old favorites • Bibliographic instruction and reference librarians are staggering under the weight of today’s demands – Particularly from first-year students and new library users 2
How do librarians and information professionals… ? • Find versions of research databases that maintain the integrity of special indexing while offering ease-of-use and “value-add” benefits such as innovative linking and searching? And do so in a cost-effective way? • Select research platforms and implement systems that complement the library’s current electronic resources in a way that ensures that new systems do not place an added burden on library staff? • Reduce the demand for first-level bibliographic instruction and reference assistance by selecting tools that help new users immediately access library resources and then discover the databases best suited to their needs? 3
How ISI® is helping you answer those questions: • By continuing to enhance our flagship products: Web of Science® 6. 0 fully integrates chemical structure searching and alerting • By partnering with other information companies to provide Hosted Content: versions of BIOSIS Previews®, CAB Abstracts®, INSPEC®, FSTA®, and Psyc. INFO® that assure depth of coverage, ease-of-use, and ISI platform benefits not found elsewhere • By continuing to evolve the ISI Web of Knowledge environment, offering personalization and alerting with version 2. 0 • By offering the best of federated searching through Web. Feat™, a “one-stop search” system that educates new library users as it increases usage of your underutilized resources 4
Integration of ISI Chemistry in the ISI Web of Science • Index Chemicus® for new compounds – Search on substructures, stereochemistry, biological activities – Approx. 2 million new organic compounds from 1993 - present – Adds over 180, 000 new compounds annually • Current Chemical Reactions® for novel reactions – Search on reaction structures and conditions – More than 740, 000 new reactions found from 1986 - present, plus archives 1840 -1985 from INPI (the Institut National de la Propriete Industrielle) – Adds over 45, 000 novel and improved reactions annually • Will appear as two databases within the Web of Science 5
Two new database options appear: Current Chemical Reactions Index Chemicus New “STRUCTURE SEARCH” button appears 6
Then bring your Launch structure drawing back into the package original screen to complete the search Draw your structure Fields for searching compound and reaction data (such as biological activity or product yield) 7
Combine a chemistry search with a general search! 8
Or start with a regular Web of Science search…. 9
…. and look for “chemical structure sign” in your results. 10
Summary of chemical structures appears within Web of Science full record However, integration of ISI Chemistry is not the only enhancement for Web of Science 6. 0…. 11
Integration of Alerting in the ISI Web of Science • Creates an alert from any Web of Science search – General alerting (topic, author, source title, and address, or any setcombination) – Cited reference alerting – Chemical structure alerting • Utilizes a special alerting module – Free for mutual subscribers of Web of Science and CC Connect – Additional fee for non-CCC subscribers – Allows your search to be saved to an ISI server as an alert • Works in conjunction with ISI Web of Knowledge. SM 2. 0 – Alerts are created within Web of Science, but can be managed through your personalized ISI Web of Knowledge homepage (more on this later in the presentation…) 12
To save your Web of Science search history, link to a special page 13
Save your Web of Science search on the ISI server. . . … and turn it into an email alert 14

Feat™, a “one-stop search” system that educates new library users as it increases usage of your underutilized resources 51
What is Web. Feat? A “federated search” solution. • Provides one search interface for all your library’s electronic resources – OPACs, bibliographic subscription databases, full-text resources, electronic reference materials, & proprietary content • “What Z 39. 50 tried to do but could not” – Instead of expecting all databases to understand one protocol, Web. Feat has a “translator” for every database • Is not meant to replace searching of individual databases but: – To provide novice users with a “starting point” to find the resources best for them – To assist all users who need an overview of your electronic resources – To increase traffic to your underutilized databases 52
How is Web. Feat the Best? • Web. Feat is a service, not just a software package – Hosted on our server, configured and maintained by our experts – Minimal set-up and no ongoing maintenance of translators – Taking the burden off your library and IT staff • Web. Feat is fully customizable Let’s take a look at three different sites – Blends into the look-and-feel of your particular site – Allowing you to decide what interface layout is best for your researchers 53
Simple search to start novice users on their way Blends into the library’s own pages! 54
More advanced search allows Boolean queries. . . … and choice of databases listed alphabetically or by subject -you decide! 55
Another way to implement an advanced search You choose the layout that works best for your organisation 56
Enter your query and click “SEARCH” 57
The “Search Summary” lists the number of hits Click on a database name to see the first set of records 58
Whether linking to a full record or to full text, a new browser window opens to display the native database environment 59
How is Web. Feat the Best? (continued) • Web. Feat can accommodate any browser-accessible database – 1200 translators have already been created, and any other translators can be custom-made by Web. Feat experts – Web, telnet, and your native DBMS files (Oracle, SQLServer, etc. ) – Fully supports subscription-based databases BECAUSE… • Web. Feat works with your authentication system – Supports all types of authentication and access (IP, ID/password, referring URL, and combinations), whereas others cannot – Uses your entitlements for seamless navigation to full-text • Web. Feat includes usage reporting, the others do not. – Web-based for easy access – Aggregate statistics as well as breakdown by individual database – Numbers of sessions, searches, hits, full records requested, etc. 60
The benefits of partnership: Web. Feat and the ISI Web of Knowledge! • The ISI Web of Knowledge platform supports federated searching – Pub. Med. SM – AGRICOLA – Other free databases to follow, in all disciplines • Therefore, Web. Feat can also be implemented directly within your ISI Web of Knowledge environment – Appears with other resources under “External Collections” – Allows researchers who rely on the Web of Science and other ISI databases to start from the ISI Web of Knowledge homepage and be led to your other electronic resources 61
