Dialog1 is a suite of powerful and simple-to-use search forms that allow customers to find the information they are looking for fast. Divided into research modules or channels, Dialog1 uses a simple and intuitive interface enabling professionals to connect to their answer quickly, so their time can be spent acting on information and not working to find it. The addition of Chemical and Engineering brings the total number of modules to nine. There are no additional subscription fees to access Dialog1, and the product is available at http://www.dialog1.com.

Chemical Module

Dialog1 Chemical provides access to authoritative industry, news, patent, regulatory, and research information in the chemical market. The module is divided into three broad subject areas: News, Patents, and Research. As customers have come to expect with Dialog1, there are powerful "behind the scenes" search strategies in the module that retrieve precise results every time. For example, searchers can retrieve chemical name synonyms from selected chemical databases and then launch a search on those synonyms against leading research and patent databases. Dialog1 allows users to perform this complicated search in one easy step! The chemical module also draws from the leading databases in the industry including CA SEARCH® --Chemical Abstracts®, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology Abstracts, Chemical Business NewsBase, Chemical Safety Newsbase, CLAIMS®/U.S. Patents, Derwent World Patents Index, Ei Compendex®, INSPEC, and SciSearch®.

Just like Dialog1 Chemical, Dialog1 Engineering provides access to industry, news, patent, and research information, and it is divided into three subject areas: News, Patents, and Research. A feature unique to the engineering module is that users are able to focus on different areas of engineering research. For example, searchers can target their queries to different areas of materials research including Aluminum, Ceramics, Metals, Paper, Plastics, and Rubber. Content in the Engineering Module includes essential sources like Derwent World Patents Index, Ei Compendex®, INSPEC, JICST-EPlus - Japanese Science & Technology, METADEX, MathSci®, NTIS, RAPRA: Rubber and Plastics, and SciSearch®.
