Coming in January:
New enhancements to ISI Web of Knowledge
Dual access to be discontinued

Dear Valued Customer,

We hope you’ve had a chance to use the new version of ISI Web of Knowledge, and that you are helping users at your institution take full advantage of the new interface and its capabilities.

You’ll find that although it may look different, ISI Web of Knowledge still delivers the thorough content and powerful tools you’ve come to rely on, such as Advanced Search and the Marked List in all databases, and Cited Reference Search in Web of Science.

What’s new is a simplified interface and streamlined approach that makes accessing and using this content easier than ever. ISI Web of Knowledge offers search, analysis and sharing options that serve the needs of all levels of users – from the novice to the experienced professional.

Another important feature that ISI Web of Knowledge still offers is regular, quarterly enhancements. The next enhancement is scheduled for January 27, 2008, and it will bring some significant changes and additions to the platform:

Dual Access will be discontinued

Currently, you have dual access to the new and previous versions of ISI Web of Knowledge. This dual access has been provided so you and your users could become familiar with the new features and functionality while still accessing the older version, and to provide you with time to prepare training and other materials for your users.

With the scheduled January 27 release, dual access to ISI Web of Knowledge will be discontinued, and all users and institutions will access the new version. The older version will no longer be available.

All databases available in new interface

All the products on the platform will be configured and available in the new interface. These include:

• Derwent Innovations IndexSM
• MEDLINE®
• Web Citation Index™
• Journal Citation Reports®
• Essential Science IndicatorsSM
• Highly Cited ResearchersSM

You’ll continue to hear from us

We’ll be sure to keep you fully informed as the January 27 date approaches. In the meantime, please use the links above to access material and training sessions that will help you bring your users up to speed on the new version.

We’re confident that you’ll find the new ISI Web of Knowledge to be a versatile solution that helps all levels of users achieve their goals. As always, if you have any questions about the new interface, please don’t hesitate to contact the Thomson Scientific Technical Support team at http://scientific.thomson.com/support/techsupport/ or your Thomson Scientific account representative.
