Scopus product trial

The Swilley Library is running a test trial of Scopus, "the largest abstract and citation database of research literature and quality web sources." Authors can find out who is citing them, and how many citations an article or an author has received. You can also analyze citations for a particular journal issue, volume or year.

Scopus is similar to the current product we use, Web of Science. The trial is IP-based so test it on campus.

Scopus contains, "36 million records, of which:

• 18 million records include references going back to 1996 (75% include references)
• 18 million pre-1996 records go back as far as 1823"
  

Please take it for a test drive and LET US KNOW what you think.
