BioBridge to Entomology

[Emma Brooks (CABI)]

If you are interested in entomology or other arthropod information you may
find it useful to know that a  major new resource will be available on the
Web in January 1999.

The service, called BioBridge to Entomology, is being launched through an
alliance between BIOSIS and CABI Publishing,  the world s two leading life
science database publishers.  It will be a gateway to information on all
arthropods, with a new integrated database at its core, combining the
resources of BIOSIS Previews?,  CAB ABSTRACTS, and Zoological Record.  As a
joint resource the database will offer more than other entomology
information sources available, not only in the number of records included
but also in the depth and breadth of coverage.

The database will retain the original features of the contributing
resources, but will allow cross-database searching in an easy and
user-friendly manner. Term mapping and duplicate record identification will
add to the functionality of the combined database.

Almost 200,000 references will be included in BioBridge to Entomology,
dating from 1995 to the present, and the database will be updated on a
monthly basis.

The database will cover pure and applied information relating to arthropods,
including insects, arachnids and crustaceans, and encompassing their natural
biology as well as medical, veterinary, aquaculture and agricultural topics.

If you would like to assess the suitability of BioBridge to Entomology for
your needs, you can register now for a free 30 day trial to start in
January.
