It’s the one m ulti-disciplinary retro sp ectiv e search tool th a t serves all departm ents because it covers all scientific subjects w ith unm atched authority. It’s the one reference th at finds m aterial that gets lost in the lim itations of conventional, subject- oriented literatu re indexing systems. SCI® makes use of an indexing system th a t follows sc ien tists’ own trad itio n al m ethod of literatu re searching —th a t of locating articles related to th eir subject in terests by exam ining reference citations of articles know n to be relevant. The technique is called “citation indexing”. And the SCI is the only com prehensive index to the journal literatu re th a t offers it. The Science Citation Index is the one stan d ard literatu re-search reference th a t no library serving the scientific com m unity can afford to be w ithout. If your library d o esn ’t yet have this m ost useful of all literatu re retrieval tools … used by libraries large and s m a ll… bring your search capabilities up to date now. And plan ex tra sets for branch and departm ental libraries w here they can do the most good for your entire organization. (Special m atching grants are available to sm aller d ep artm en tal and branch libraries to make it econom ical to obtain m ultiple sets of SCI.)
