CURRENT INDEX TO STATISTICS PUBLISHES NEW EDITION AND GOES ON-LINE
The Current Index to Statistics is the premier bibliographic reference
for the statistics literature. The 23rd edition of the print volume,
containing about 9700 items - primarily articles, books and reviews
appearing in 1997 - has been distributed. Release 7 of the CIS Extended
Database on CD-ROM has also been distributed, containing cumulative
entries from the entire series of print volumes as well as extended
earlier coverage that does not appear in print, for a total of about
197,500 records. The Print Volumes and licenses for the Extended
Database are sold through the offices of the American Statistical
Association and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Information
about purchase of both versions can be found at

NEW WEB SERVER FOR CIS
CIS has now added a new service for its university customers: a
centralized server for Web access to the CIS database. The server was
established in response to demand from libraries and other key users who
wanted the benefits of access through a Web interface without having to
find the personnel and computer resources to set it up themselves. More
information on the new server can be found at the URL
http://query.statindex.org/
University licenses allow unlimited access to the database, either through
the Web site or through local installation from the CD-ROM, for users at
a university campus. The first-year license fee is $450 and annual renewals
are $225. See http://www.statindex.org for ordering information.
