Dual Access Enabled for the ISI Web of Knowledge Service for UK Education
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thomson, MIMAS and JISC are pleased to announce the availability of the
new version of Web of Knowledge to all institutions eligible for the renewal
agreement. (Refer to http://www.jisc.ac.uk/coll_allbanding.html)
Just go via the link at top right hand side on http://wok.mimas.ac.uk.
(Authentication is by Athens.)
As previously announced: "This will run until 1st October providing users and
library staff with the opportunity to become familiar with the new interface
before the start of the 2005 autumn term The Web of Knowledge service will
then be run directly from Thomson Scientific servers and the MIMAS service
switched off. UK users will now have access to the most up-to-date version
of Web of Knowledge at all times."
Note that the new service will automatically provide access to the additional
Web of Science back-files, purchased by JISC for the whole UK community.
This consists of: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI) 1970-80, Social
Science Citation Index Expanded (SSCI) 1970-1980 and Arts & Humanities
Citation Index (AHCI) 1975-1980. Obviously sites who had already
purchased extended backfile access will have the following years covered:
SCI 1945-1980; SSCI 1956-1980; AHCI 1975-1980.
Do test out the new service, which should reflect your existing entitlements
and let us know of any discrepancies or questions you or colleagues may
have.
Remember also that 'Train the Trainer' sessions for library and support staff,
highlighting the key differences between the current and new services are
underway at Institutions across the UK. Contact the MIMAS helpdesk at:

Additionally, Thomson Scientific is offering free on-site user training sessions
tailored for your institution. Again contact MIMAS or Chris Powell directly at
