UIC Library users may experience some problems accessing the electronic resource Current Contents® during the week of August 4. The Library is changing vendors for this resource (from OVID to ISI Web of
Knowledge) and there may be a gap in provider coverage during the transition.
The reason for the change is to reduce costs by getting access to this resource through the Committee on Institutional Cooperation's Center for Library Initiatives' cooperative purchase program.
To date, the CLI Consortial Agreement Program, which facilitates and coordinates licenses and purchase agreements for electronic resources, software, and services, has saved the participating libraries over $15.5 million.
Current Contents® is a multi-disciplinary database that provides access to the tables of contents and bibliographic data from current issues of the world's leading scholarly research journals and books in the sciences, social sciences, and arts and humanities. The resource includes cover-to-cover indexing of journal articles, reviews, meeting abstracts, editorials, etc., for more than 8,000 international journals covering all disciplines and more than 2,000 books. Entries list complete bibliographic information, including English-language author abstracts (for approximately 85% of articles and reviews in the science editions), author keywords, and ISSNs.
UIC users can access through UICCAT, or from the Library's Electronic Resources page.
