New Enhancements for DialogClassic Web

The new, enhanced version of DialogClassic Web™ offers a completely revamped interface enriched with features to save you time and effort. Newly added are a built-in editor and the ability to resize display windows and desktop panes.

The new Editor Tab (formerly Marked Tab), working in conjunction with the Mark Text icon, lets you mark, save and manipulate search results:

• Cut and paste portions of your search results into a single document in the Editor tab
• Add, delete and modify the marked text using all of the features you expect from an editor tool (.e.g., bold, text color, font size, etc.)
• Save your finished results in new formats including HTML, TEXT, Microsoft® Word or Adobe® Acrobat PDF

Use the new Editor Quick Reference Card to try out this new feature. Additional DialogClassic Web support materials are available online.

Reminder: Beginning on March 31, 2007, when you log on to DialogClassic Web at www.dialogclassic.com, it will be to the new interface.

BIOSIS Archive Now on Dialog

An archive of approximately 1.8 million records of BIOSIS® data covering the period 1926 to 1968 is now available on Dialog. File 5 on Dialog contains data from 1926 to the present. A stand-alone file (File 552) covering just 1926 to 1968 has also been added. In addition, a second new file—File 525—contains data from 1969 to the present.

The BIOSIS database is now divided into four files, each covering a different date range. To summarize, after addition of the archive, the BIOSIS collection on Dialog is structured as follows:

• File 5 — 1926 to present
• File 525 — 1969 to present
• File 55 — 1993 to present
• File 552 — 1926 to 1968

Because BIOSIS documents the history of the life sciences worldwide, it brings together a breadth and depth of information that can’t be found elsewhere in one easily searchable format. And in doing so, it supports current life sciences research and gives today’s researchers an invaluable and unique tool.
