The recent addition of 40,000 articles from OxResearch Daily Briefing Service by Oxford Analytica and a new set of Country Profiles is just one example of our pursuit of authoritative and reliable intelligence. The briefs provide daily updates on developments of major significance in the world. The Country Profiles provide summary overviews for 75 countries, including graphics, maps, data and charts, and they are written by leading authorities and come from the Oxford Analytica worldwide scholar expert network. The daily briefs and the Country Profiles have a 90-day embargo for full text, but abstracts are available in the interim.

Dissertations and working papers provide insight into tomorrow's research

ABI/INFORM has added over 5,000 dissertations so far through 2009 bringing the total dissertations to over 29,000. Along with significant growth to dissertations, we have also added to our collection of more than 15,000 working papers from SSRN (Social Science Research Network). Working Papers provide insight into the research of tomorrow, by collecting and indexing scholarly work-in-progress before it is published.

ProQuest/Dialog innovation expands your Harvard Business Review® collection to full text with images

ProQuest and Dialog work hand-in-hand, dynamically integrating your access to high-value business-management content. With the launch of Harvard Business Review® Full Text with Images on Dialog, we have built a bridge between ProQuest Harvard Business Review abstracts and indexing to the full-text articles on Dialog. Researchers can now link seamlessly from abstracts they find in Harvard Business Review to the full text on Dialog. A subscription to the full text content on Dialog gives corporate searchers link icons that resolve to the full text from ProQuest databases such as ABI/INFORM Global and Complete, ProQuest Central, ProQuest Banking Information Source and ProQuest Health Management.

With your subscription to the full-text collection on Dialog, you gain entry to every reprint from the Harvard Business Review® from 2005 forward, including one Case Study per issue. Images, including charts, graphs and photos, are provided for many records. Prior to 2005, you can search for the full text using Dialog's File 106. File 106 offers every reprint from the Harvard Business Review® from 1994 forward, plus select articles from November-December 1956 to 1994.

Contact your Dialog account manager for information on subscribing to the Harvard Business Review® Full Text with Images (File 106 on Dialog), or call 1-800-334-2564 or request information.

ABI/INFORM® 's new browse tab makes key content easier to find

ABI/INFORM, long recognized as one of the most comprehensive sources of business information available, has a new browse tab that helps users zero in on highly sought journal and non-journal content, such as market research reports and articles, industry trends and forecasts, market share data, corporate profiles, dissertations and working papers and SWOT analyses.

The browse page provides links to specific featured content, such as Business Monitor International (BMI) Industry Reports and Just-Series Market Research Reports. Click on the link and choose the industry or title you seek. Other links, such as Market Research Articles, initiate a search, which you can narrow using Smart Search® topics or qualify to a type of publication, such as trade publications.

Tracking competitors' R&D? Take advantage of ProQuest's vast science and technology collections

Business research involves so much more than companies, industries and economics. Most businesses need to stay up-to-date on research, development and innovation to jump ahead of the market. Consider ProQuest's science and technology collections. ProQuest's Illumina and Illustrata collections from Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (CSA) help your scientists to focus discovery and understand the technology behind their inventions. Our CSA discipline-oriented databases have recently evolved to feature deep-indexing enhancements and access to full-text resources. Imagine what your scientists can do given the ability to search for data in tables, charts and graphics. ProQuest's CSA Illumina platform provides this capability.

And, speaking of innovation, check out the Discovery Guides from CSA, including Plugging Into the Future: Smart Grids.

Dialog/DataStar and ProQuest bring you the full spectrum of strategic commercial wisdom

Precision searching in broad A&I literature on Dialog/DataStar and the ability to readily locate the full text of these items via Professional ABI/INFORM Complete is a powerful combination. ABI/INFORM Complete contains more than 4,000 titles and the fulltext of 2,700 of those titles. The content is the most comprehensive combination of business and economics information including business conditions, market trends, competitive product information, corporate strategies and tactics, management practice and theory, technology and human resources.

In addition to admission to millions of much-coveted full-text articles from thousands of scholarly journals, ABI Complete also provides access to global newspapers, full-text dissertations in the area of business, market reports, business case studies, statistics, conference proceedings and more. Dialog and ABI Complete complement each other in their sources. For instance, Dialog has the fulltext of EIU databases, such as EIU: Business Newsletters, EIU: Country Research and EIU: Market Research, as well as other full-text titles like Newsweek and The Economist. Together, the collection cannot be matched.
