INDEXING & ABSTRACTINGProQuest CSA Traditional Strength: Discipline Orientated Databases
Very comprehensive literature reviews across the entire discipline – A&I has greater breadth, depth and scope
International in scope and multilingual (with abstracts in English)
Content in A&I databases is not under embargo Indexing standards applied to specialist content sets
(such as controlled vocabulary) assist in retrieval of relevant resources
Suitability for researchers’ workflow ….
Value of A&I
The Value in Abstracts: Limited Time to Scan a Discipline Exponential growth of articles to read per year
“Faculty report nearly twice as many readings as they did thirty years ago” A1 Tenopir,CarolA1 King,Donald W.T1 Electronic Journals and Changes in Scholarly Article Seeking and Reading Patterns JF D-Lib Magazine
Often the scientist’s goal “is not to find an article to read, but rather to find, assess, and exploit a range of information by scanning portions of many articles”.

ASFA & OCEANIC ABSTRACTSTraditional Abstract & Indexing Components
ASFA: Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts Database
Overwhelmingly cited by a majority of aquatic science librarians as their primary database, the ASFA series is the premier reference in the field of aquatic resources. Input to ASFA is provided by a growing international network of information centers monitoring over 7,000 serial publications, books, reports, conference proceedings, translations and limited distribution literature. ASFA is a component of the Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Information System (ASFIS), formed by four United Nations agency sponsors of ASFA and a network of international and national partners.
Sources covered include over 3,000 periodicals, conference proceedings, technical reports, trade journal/newsletter items, patents, books, and press releases. Subject Coverage

Oceanic Abstracts
Starting its 33rd year, Oceanic Abstracts is focused exclusively on worldwide technical literature pertaining to the marine and brackish-water environment. The database has long been recognized as a leading source of information on topics relating to oceans. The database focuses on marine biology and physical oceanography, fisheries, aquaculture, non-living resources, meteorology and geology, plus environmental, technological, and legislative topics. This database is totally comprehensive in its coverage of living and non-living resources, meteorology and geology, plus environmental, technological, and legislative topics.
Subject Coverage
• * Biological Oceanography• * Ecology• * Physical and chemical oceanography• * Marine geology• * Geophysics• * Geochemistry• * Marine pollution• * Nonliving marine resources• * Navigation and communications
• * Maritime law• * Desalination• * Ships• * Shipping• * Marine biology
(Note Oceanic Abstracts is not included in ASFA but is part of ProQuest Aquatic Science Collection)

ILLUSTRATA & DEEP INDEXING
Recent Abstract & Indexing Innovation
Recent Innovations: Deep Indexing
2007 CODiE Award Winner: Best Online Science & Technology Service
Why Index Tables & Figures?
1. Images are included in Scientific and Technical articles only because they illustrate something fundamental about the research field work, experiment findings or conclusions
2. Distilled essence of the research – the closest thing to the raw datasets
3. Articles with the right kinds of objects quickly establish the relevance of the related data and findings
4. These objects are most often invisible using traditional article-level and full-text searching
Deep Indexing: Indexing Process
1. Identification of tables and figures (images, charts, maps, etc.) found within a scholarly article
2. Extraction of critical data and information within and surrounding each table or figure (including full caption) to provide the indexing
3. Assignment of a category

Practices
You want to write a paper on the protection of the endangered species
Type protection AND “endangered species” into the Basic Search box.
Thousands of results retrieved, refine your results using the Narrow results by feature.
From the “Narrow results by” and the Source Type limit, select to view Scholarly Journals.
Then “Subject” limit and select to include Endangered species and conservation
Then “Classification” limit and select to include Marine Pollution.
Go to the Date limit and Drag the handle over to search on items published from 2000 – 2012.
Go to the top of the results page and resort your items by Date (most recent first) and click Sort.
Click the PDF full text link of second result and download the PDF
or click the OPAC link of NTOU from the first result
Or you can email / print / or export/Save etc.
Thank you!
