12 Photoshop
part 1
LTC
9am-11am

Beginning January 1, 2008, BIOSIS, CAB Abstracts, Food Science & Technology Abstracts  and  Zoological Record databases are available via the ISI Web of Knowledge interface, and the WebSPIRS/Ovid versions of these databases will no longer be accessible. There are no changes to the content and years of coverage, but there are many new features. The ISI Web of Knowledge interface is already familiar to many who use Web of Science databases such as Science Citation Index. This workshop will review the searching, analyzing and other features of the ISI interface. Bring your questions about the new system.
