It is the most wonderful time of the year.... While shopping around for those bargain gifts for family and friends do not forget about the two freebie databases this month at Ovid. INSPEC and INSPEC Archive as well as the International Science Database are Ovid's December databases of the month. As with all of Ovid's databases of month you must register to try them.

INSPEC and INSPEC Archive on Ovid
INSPEC provides access to the world's scientific and technical literature in physics, electrical engineering, electronics, communications, control engineering, computers and computing, and information technology. It also covers areas such as materials science, oceanography, nuclear engineering, geophysics, biomedical engineering and biophysics. Primary coverage is of journal articles and papers presented at conferences, although significant books, technical reports, and dissertations are also included in the database's 7.3 million records. Sources include more than 4,200 journals and more than 2,000 conference proceedings, books, and reports.

The Inspec Archive is the entire collection of Science Abstracts Journals digitized (back to volume one) dating from 1898 to 1968. The Science Abstracts Journals were the precursor to the Inspec database. The subject coverage is: All aspects of physics (originally published as Physics Abstracts), Electrical and electronic engineering (introduced as a separate journal in 1903, and originally published as Electrical and Electronic Abstracts), Computing and control engineering (introduced as a separate journal in 1966, and published initially as Control Abstracts, later renamed to Computer and Control Abstracts).
