Oops, apologies to al and especially Katy I forgot to mention that vital bit of info. The users at Christie are of course Academic. Melanie -----Original Message----- From: KATY WOOLFENDEN, Info Services (Medicine) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, December 04, 2000 10:05 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: REGISS ISI JCR access Dear all, Melanie is quite right that the ISI Journal Citation Reports (JCR) is available via JRULM's REGiSS database service and that it is accessed with an ATHENS password. However, I am (of course!) obliged to point out that the database licence we have signed means that it is only available for use by or on behalf of fully registered University staff or students of the University (along with the rest of our databases). Also by University staff I mean full/honorary staff (and not Manchester Medical Society members). Sorry folks - no pure NHS usage! ( If you've any queries about individual circumstances though etc please don't hesitate to get in touch with me direct).
