IngentaConnect
Content: | Content: Billed as the "most comprehensive collection of academic and professional publications," IngentaConnect is an aggregator database providing access to two types of content. The Fax/Ariel Content portion of this database (formerly known as CARL Uncover, Uncover Reveal) provides access to the tables of contents from nearly 29,000 popular, trade, and scholarly journals published since 1988, and updated daily. Search the database by publication title, by keywords in the title or abstract (if an abstract is available), or by author. Although there is no proper full-text or subject search capability, the sheer size of the database makes it a very comprehensive periodical database. IPFW faculty, staff, and students may establish a free account to receive weekly search alerts or the tables of contents of particular periodicals by e-mail. The Electronic Content portion of the Ingenta database provides subscriber access to more than 6,000 full-text periodicals. IPFW currently subscribes to approximately 50 full-text titles through IngentaConnect, which are coded with an  icon. A Browse Publications search offers the option to limit your search to Subscribed Publications and Free Content Only. Articles needed for rush delivery may be ordered from the fax/Ariel database using a credit card. |

Web of Science
Content: | The Web of Science provides access to the Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts and Humanities Citation Index published by the Institute for Scientific Information. These unique citation indexes scan the content (including cited references) of nearly 9,000 major journals published worldwide. Updated weekly. Each record offers access to the author's abstract (when available), words in article titles (thus, limited subject analysis), and most importantly, the author's full bibliography (list of cited references or bibliographic footnotes). Use Cited Reference Search to find articles that cite an author or a work anywhere in the indexed source journals from 1955 to present. Use General Search to find articles by topic, author, journal, or address; IPFW's license provides access to articles published in the 9,000 source journals only from 1995 to present. Use the Help feature or Information for New Users to learn more about citation searching, including techniques for eliminating self-citations, finding articles that make reference to or include illustrations of works of art and music scores (implicit citations), or how to use the Times Cited feature to trace citation networks. Searches can be saved and run as search alerts. Results can be marked to print, save, e-mail, or export directly into bibliographic management software such as EndNote. A Master Journal List is available after authentication. |
