CSA Acquires ABC POL SCI
and ARTbibliographies Modern
BETHESDA, November 6th, 2000 - CSA (Cambridge Scientific
Abstracts)
has acquired the databases ABC POL SCI and ARTbibliographies
Modern
from ABC-CLIO. CSA will continue to publish the products in print
and
make them available through the CSA Internet Database Service
(IDS).
Both databases are market leaders in their field. The
ARTbibliographies Modern database provides comprehensive
bibliographic
coverage of the current literature, articles, books, dissertations, and
exhibition catalogues on art and design, from Impressionism
onwards
(including the field of photography from its invention). ABC POL SCI
acts
as a guide to the current periodical literature in political science and
related disciplines such as international affairs, law, sociology, and
economics. The print version of ABC POL SCI will be retitled CSA
Political
Science & Government: A Guide to Periodical Literature, starting
with the
2001 volume.
Autumn 2000 has been a particularly active time for CSA, with the
previously-announced acquisition of the Aerospace Database and
Political Science Abstracts as well as the launch of e-psyche. "We
are
working hard to expand the database selection available on IDS,"
said Matt
Dunie, president of CSA. "ABC POL SCI is a great addition to
social
science databases that we already provide, including Political
Science
Abstracts, CSA Sociological Abstracts, and CSA Social Services
Abstracts.
And ARTbibliographies Modern represents our first database in the
humanities, an area in which we expect substantial growth. CSA
has
committed significant resources to improving both the range of
topics and
information delivery mechanisms of our publishing program."
CSA is a leading publisher of bibliographic databases and print
journals used by more than 4,000 research institutions worldwide.
Its
award-winning Internet Database Service provides World Wide Web
access to
over 50 databases through its Web sites (http://www.csa.com;
http://csa1.co.uk ), covering major areas of scientific research
including
materials science, environmental sciences and pollution
management,
biological sciences, aquatic sciences and fisheries, biotechnology,
engineering, computer science, sociology, and linguistics.
