PsycINFO Updated with New and Revised Fields

PsycINFO® (File 11) has been reloaded for 2007 with a few changes to help you pinpoint exactly the information you need more easily. For example, you can now search with additional document types, by a 10- or 13-digit ISBN number and by Other Publisher to obtain addresses and Other Serial Title, both especially useful if the publisher or journal name has changed.

PsycINFO is a bibliographic database that provides citations with abstracts to the scholarly literature in the psychological, social, behavioral, and health sciences. The database contains more than 2.2 million records spanning 1806 to the present. Journal coverage includes material selected from approximately 2,050 periodicals. Also included are chapter, book and dissertation coverage. Approximately 8.1 million cited references are being added annually through weekly updates.

INPADOC Enhanced with New Content, Indexing and Format Options

INPADOC/Patent Family and Legal Status (File 345), a comprehensive resource of approximately 62 million patents represented in 34 million patent families from more than 80 countries and patenting organizations, has been enhanced with extended content, additional search capabilities and more comprehensive results for searchers.

Some of the content additions include:

• An extensive historical backfile for several countries dating back to the 19th century.
• Original abstracts included for recent patents from over 15 patenting authorities, most translated into English.
• Cited Patents (CT=) and Cited Literature References (RT=).

As part of these new enhancements, new report templates have been created for DialogLink 5 to accommodate the changes to the INPADOC database. The new report templates are available for download. Please note that any existing templates will not work with the new database structure.

Check the Dialog web site for all the details on the changes.
