“ISI Proceedings” merged into “Web of Science”

cslibrary — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 11:16:56 +0000

Searching journal articles and conference proceedings just got easier with “Web of Science” and “Conference Proceedings Citation Index”, previously called ISI Proceedings. This powerful combination lets you easily discover which proceedings are the most influential. You’ll see who is citing proceedings, and discover new research directions.

Conference Proceedings Citation Index
Conference proceedings depict the leading edge of research, revealing emerging trends and new ideas before they appear in journals. Conference Proceedings Citation Index, a Web of Science database, lets you use cited reference searching to see the full impact of conferences and other professional meetings. You can track the influence of papers, authors, and conference series. And you can see how conferences influence all aspects of your research.

With Conference Proceedings Citation Index, you can:

Uncover new theories, solutions, and indications of emerging and developing concepts that help you pursue successful research and grant acquisition.
Verify citations to papers presented at conferences.
Discover research ideas as they are first presented, before they are included in journal articles.
Make acquisition decisions about proceedings.
Determine whether the proceedings of a meeting were published and where.
Identify potential collaborators who are pursuing complementary areas of research.
Integrate searching, writing, and bibliography creation into one streamlined process.

The “Web of Science” database can be located at http://www.ntu.edu.sg/library/ –> Databases.

There is also an online tutorial for the latest development of “Web of Science” developed by Thomson Reuters at http://www.brainshark.com/thomsonscientific/newoct08. The sections of “Conference Proceedings Citation Index” may be of your interests.

Scopus Document Download Manager

cslibrary — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 07:00:08 +0000

How much time do you spend on downloading and renaming full-text articles? And does it prove to be challenging to find the downloaded articles back?The Scopus Document Download Manager makes it quick and simple to download and organize several full-text articles simultaneously, saving you plenty of valuable time. This new service also helps you to easily and quickly organize downloaded results on your own computer without complicated default naming options.

The Document Download Manager allows you to collect, organize and download up to 50 full-text articles simultaneously in just a few clicks directly from the Scopus results list, a task that would need approximately 150 clicks without the Document Download Manager.
You can then choose your personal naming convention and destination that suits your own filing system and the preferences will be remembered the next time you return to Scopus.

The Document Download Manager is available in Scopus from February 19, 2008, and is designed to facilitate faster and more efficient downloading and organizing of entitled full-text articles.

Click here to read more about the Document Download Manager. We trust that you will find this enhancement valuable to the literature research process.

USENIX’s Campus Representative Program

cslibrary — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 08:14:03 +0000

“The USENIX Association (The Advanced Computing Systems Association) relies on Campus Representatives to reach out to their campus community and students to make them aware of the Association, its conferences, member services, and student programs. (Participants in this program are sometimes referred to as “University Liaisons.”) We encourage students to participate in the organization by submitting papers, becoming members, and attending events.The program funds one representative per campus to act on behalf of USENIX. The representative should be faculty in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related department (see the requirements for participation at their website).

To find out if your school has a representative, check the current list of USENIX Campus Representatives.”
