From the Editor

New products, content and enhancements to current products have made 2003 an exciting, productive year for Dialog. Highlights of the year prove this point. Dialog has enhanced several products: new channels for energy, patents, trademarks and engineering on DialogPRO for small businesses, additional content and functionality for Dialog Company Profiles and a new database—World News Connection, a news service focused on non-U.S. news. And, Dialog Portals enables companies to integrate their information resources. Moreover, content has increased: additional sources for Dialog Profound, including 20+ new information providers in the areas of information technology, pharmaceuticals and more; the launch of the Domain Names database (File 225) bringing a whole new area of research about the Internet to Dialog; the addition of pre-grant patent applications to patent files, new titles to Dialog Interactive Alerts and the availability of CAS® abstracts in DialogWeb—Guided Search. In addition, Quantum has named InfoStars and provided scholarships to information professionals in all regions of the world and Web-based training, new training materials and Knowledge Center expertise worldwide continue to provide quality support to our customers. These are just a few of the highlights during this year.

In addition to the 2003 achievements, Dialog plans many innovations for 2004. Your Chronolog will bring you details about new Dialog offerings in the coming year.
