News from Patricia Killiard, Head of Electronic Services and Systems, Cambridge University Library:
The University Library is pleased to announce that it has taken an early decision to renew its subscription to ISI’s Web of Knowledge (including ISI citation indexes) under the new agreement for UK higher education. As a result, University of Cambridge users have immediate access to the new interface and extended coverage. This includes the Web of Science backfiles as follows:
- Science Citation Index Expanded 1970-1980
- Social Sciences Citation Index 1970-1980
- Arts & Humanities Citation Index 1975-1980
These are in addition to the existing coverage from 1980 onwards. The agreement also covers continued access to ISI Proceedings and Journal Citation Reports (Science and Social Science editions).
The early subscription renewal provides members of the university with access in advance to the updated interface, which will replace the current version on 1 October. To view it and the backfiles go to the current Web of Knowledge site and click on the icon on the top right-hand corner of the screen - or you can click on the same icon at the top of this post. Athens passwords will be required both on and off campus [NOTE: Athens passwords are available at the college library enquiry desk]. Training for public and staff users will be offered by the University Library in due course.
