CONCISE COLUMBIA ELECTRONIC ENCYCLOPEDIA AVAILABLE ON
FIRSTSEARCH
DUBLIN, Ohio, Aug. 27, 1993--Quick, easy access to information in
the Concise Columbia Encyclopedia has been made quicker and
easier with its full-text inclusion in The FirstSearch Catalog,
OCLC's online information service designed for library patrons.
The Concise Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, published by
Columbia University Press, comprises over 18,000 succinct entries
that extend beyond definitions found in dictionaries and includes
cross references to help locate additional information.
"It's a great place to start a search," said Tam Dalrymple, OCLC
reference services. "When you look for a topic, the Columbia
encyclopedia will give you information on that topic as well as
related areas of inquiry. It's also great for students and
faculty to use to check facts quickly."
A team of academic advisers reviews each entry for currency and
accuracy, and the Concise Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia is
updated monthly.
The encyclopedia is located under the "General and Reference"
category on the FirstSearch topic selection screen. Article
headings and text are included in a subject search. Help screens
are designed to assist the user through the searching process.
The Concise Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia is the fourth
full-text database to be made available on FirstSearch.
Disclosure Corporate Snapshots, a database of approximately
11,000 companies filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission; the Business Organizations, Agencies, and
Publications Directory, a guide to international business
information sources; and EventLine, with entries on conventions,
conferences, and symposia, are also available in full text in
FirstSearch.
The FirstSearch Catalog is available from OCLC on both a
per-search and subscription basis.
The FirstSearch Catalog is designed for library patrons, with an
end-user interface that allows patrons to move easily through the
online search process in just a few simple steps, without
training or online searching experience. With the addition of
the Concise Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, FirstSearch now
offers 38 databases to users.
OCLC is a nonprofit computer library service and research
organization whose computer network and services link more than
17,000 libraries in 47 countries and territories. (RM)
