Title

INSPEC Science Abstracts : 100 years, 1898-1998

Source

International information communication and education. 16(1997) no.2, S.209-214

Year

1997

Abstract

Describes the INSPEC database, claimed to be the world's largest English language bibliographic database, as well as the most comprehensive available for physics, electronics and computing. Traces the development of 'Science Abstracts' from its 1st issue published in Jan 1898 which contained 110 abstracts: 1.423 were included during this initial year. Examines subsequent growth and development, emphasizing the commitment to quality, extension of the Physics coverage, the CD-ROM database and the total of 5,75 million records included at the end of 1997. Current growth is 300.000 records per year, from over 4.000 journals and serials, plus 2.000 conference proceedings and other materials
