ProQuest CSA Traditional Strength: Discipline Orientated Databases Indexing & Abstracting
Value of A&I • Very comprehensive literature reviews across the entire discipline – A&I has greater breadth, depth and scope • International in scope and multilingual (with abstracts in English) • Content in A&I databases is not under embargo • Indexing standards applied to specialist content sets (such as controlled vocabulary) assist in retrieval of relevant resources • ROI for Libraries – researchers discover articles available within the library’s paper and digital resources • Suitability for researchers’ workflow ….

ASFA: Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts Database • Overwhelmingly cited by a majority of aquatic science librarians as their primary database, the ASFA series is the premier reference in the field of aquatic resources. Input to ASFA is provided by a growing international network of information centers monitoring over 5,000 serial publications, books, reports, conference proceedings, translations and limited distribution literature. ASFA is a component of the Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Information System (ASFIS), formed by four United Nations agency sponsors of ASFA and a network of international and national partners. Sources covered include over 3,000 periodicals, conference proceedings, technical reports, trade journal/newsletter items, patents, books, and press releases.

Oceanic Abstracts Starting its 33rd year, Oceanic Abstracts is focused exclusively on worldwide technical literature pertaining to the marine and brackish-water environment. The database has long been recognized as a leading source of information on topics relating to oceans. The database focuses on marine biology and physical oceanography, fisheries, aquaculture, non-living resources, meteorology and geology, plus environmental, technological, and legislative topics. This database is totally comprehensive in its coverage of living and non-living resources, meteorology and geology, plus environmental, technological, and legislative topics. Subject Coverage • * Biological Oceanography • * Ecology • * Physical and chemical oceanography • * Marine geology • * Geophysics • * Geochemistry • * Marine pollution • * Nonliving marine resources • * Navigation and communications • * Maritime law • * Desalination • * Ships • * Shipping • * Marine biology (Note Oceanic Abstracts is not included in ASFA but is part of ProQuest Aquatic Science Collection)
Recent Abstract & Indexing Innovation Illustrata & Deep Indexing
Recent Innovations: Deep Indexing 2007 CODiE Award Winner: Best Online Science & Technology Service
Why Index Tables & Figures? • Images are included in Scientific and Technical articles only because they illustrate something fundamental about the research field work, experiment findings or conclusions • Distilled essence of the research – the closest thing to the raw datasets • Articles with the right kinds of objects quickly establish the relevance of the related data and findings • These objects are most often invisible using traditional article-level and full-text searching
Deep Indexing: Indexing Process • Identification of tables and figures (images, charts, maps, etc.) found within a scholarly article • Extraction of critical data and information within and surrounding each table or figure (including full caption) to provide the indexing • Assignment of a category
Search Results 5995 hits … From a regular keyword search • Options to narrow results by: • Date • Scholarly Journals • Full text • Source Type • And more ... • Indexed Images
Deep Indexing Results 173 hits … more targeted hits when we filter by indexed figures & tables results
