OCLC TO LOAD CAMBRIDGE DATABASES
DUBLIN, Ohio, Feb. 16, 1994--Cambridge Information Group and OCLC
have reached an agreement to mount six databases on The
FirstSearch Catalog and the EPIC service, OCLC's online reference
services.
"One of our reference strategies is to expand the depth and
breadth of our database coverage," said Tamsen Dalrymple, OCLC
reference services. "The Cambridge databases strengthen our
offering in the life sciences, applied technology, and
environmental fields. They index a vast body of published
literature, and they go beyond citations to furnish concise,
informative summaries of cited articles."
The agreement enables OCLC to add the following databases from
Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, a division of Cambridge
Information Group:
o Environmental Sciences & Pollution Management, which provides
comprehensive, multidisciplinary coverage of the key aspects
of environmental sciences, including toxic hazards of
chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other substances; air,
marine, and freshwater pollution; and biochemical
applications in water treatment and pollution. The database
contains more than 350,000 records from 1988 and will be
updated monthly with 5,000 new records.
o FINDEX: Worldwide Market Research Reports, which, with more
than 14,000 records, indexes market research reports,
studies, and surveys from more than 600 major publishers. It
provides a broad-based, reliable source of market research
information for 12 key areas: business and finance,
construction, consumer durables and nondurables, data
processing systems and electronics, defense and security
systems, energy and utilities, health care, media, retailing
and consumer services, and transportation.
o Safety Sciences & Risk Management, which is published in
association with the University of Southern California and
he University of Waterloo and focuses on environmental risks
that affect occupational health and public safety. Cited
studies are geared to help researchers identify, evaluate,
and eliminate or control risks and hazards of all kinds. The
database contains nearly 41,000 records from the last five
years; it will be updated quarterly with 2,000 new records.
o Aquatic Sciences & Fisheries Abstracts, which is recognized
as the premier database in marine and aquatic sciences and
provides access to worldwide research archives collected
under the sponsorship of four United Nations agencies. It
provides coverage of aquatic biology, living and nonliving
aquatic resources, ocean technology, and aquatic pollution
and encompasses all aspects of marine, freshwater, and
brackishwater organisms and environments, fisheries and
aquaculture, and the unique contamination problems of seas
and estuaries. It contains nearly 200,000 records dating
from 1988. Approximately 3,000 new records are added each
month.
o AIDS & Cancer Research, which contains more than 140,000
records gathered from research in the worldwide scientific
literature. AIDS-related topics include molecular and in
vitro aspects, immunological, clinical, and epidemiological
aspects, patterns of disease occurrence and transmission,
symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment and investigational
drugs. Cancer information emphasizes the complex molecular
aspects of cancer initiation, promotion, progression, and
metastasis. The database will be updated monthly with 2,000
new records.
o Biotechnology & BioEngineering, which is prepared under the
editorial direction of Dr. Rita R. Colwell of the Maryland
Biotechnology Institute and offers complete coverage of
biotechnology and bioengineering, drawn from 697 primary
research sources abstracted from eight scientific journals.
It will be updated monthly with 4,300 new records; coverage
is from 1988.
OCLC is a nonprofit computer library service and research
organization whose computer network and services link more than
17,000 libraries in 52 countries and territories. (ND)
