Another year is winding down, but Thomson Scientific brings the year to a strong finish with new and enhanced Biomedical content on Dialog and DataStar. Learn about the new EMBASE Classic database and how it can help you with your current research. Check the database Evidence-Based Medicine from MEDLINE on DataStar to find information easily on this important topic.
A new database—EMBASE Classic—has been added to Dialog (File 772) and DataStar (EM73) and contains the EMBASE electronic backfile from 1947 to 1973, including over 1.8 million records from the biomedical and pharmacological literature. EMBASE Classic provides greater context for current and future research and can be searched together with current EMBASE databases. It is a subscriber-only file, not available for transactional usage. 
In
the latest EMBASE reload on Dialog you will want
to note several indexing changes. Nine new fields
have been added, including a new field for record
type (e.g., RT=Abstract and RT=Citation). In addition,
the author index now includes the corresponding and
contributing author in the author field (AU=) and
the corresponding and contributing author affiliation
in the corporate source field (CS=). Several fields
(DC= descriptor code, SH= section heading and CT=
conference title) have been removed. See the 
A new subset of MEDLINE® covering Evidence-Based Medicine from MEDLINE (MEVB) is now available on DataStar. The implementation of evidence-based practice is increasingly vital for healthcare professionals, and the MEVB subset will make it easier for searchers quickly to identify relevant material of interest to them. Like MEDLINE, MEVB is updated daily and includes material dating back to 1950. 
Whatever your business, intelligence is vital to maintain a competitive edge in the marketplace. For example, competing companies want to know what other biotech companies are researching or what the next drug to come up through the pipeline will be. Read the article "Extending Your Search Services with Competitive Intelligence Searching" to learn how Thomson Scientific's new competitive intelligence search services can help you monitor the competitive environment. 
Stay up to date with the latest research reported at conferences, symposia and meetings in all biomed subject areas. The Biology Browser can provide you with a monthly listing of conferences to be held around the world whether it's a Plant and Animal Genome Conference in San Diego, CA, or The Society for Endocrinology in the United Kingdom.
