A quality science library without the Science Citation Index®? Unlikely. F or over 20 years, the Science Citation Index has A been an integral part of science reference collections. Why? Because the SC I® gives you access to the world’s most significant scientific and technical literature. Because it offers unmatched breadth of coverage, depth of indexing, and precision of retrieval. And because the S C /’s cumulated editions make it easy to search back to 1955. If you’ve used the Science Citation Index, you know it’s more than a valuable search tool. You kno it’s also an important tool for performing bibliographic verification … following scientific w development across 100 disciplines … tracking faculty publishing … and determining who’s citing whom. Your subscription to the Science Citation Index gives you all of this … plus it qualifies you for reduced rates on SCISEARCH®, the online version of SCI. And the Science Citation Index is available at special grant rates to libraries that qualify.
