Trusted Database Enhanced with Powerful New Features and Functionality
Philadelphia, PA USA-London UK - 01/20/2005 - Today, Thomson Scientific, a business of The Thomson Corporation (NYSE: TOC;
TSX: TOC) announced that Zoological Record—the oldest continuing database
of animal biology—is now available on ISI Web of Knowledge (SM).
Zoological Record is a respected information resource for every field in
animal biology; for academic, government, and commercial projects; and for
conducting reliable and in-depth information searches.
With its electronic coverage extending back to 1978, Zoological Record
has long been considered the world's unofficial register of animal names. While
taxonomy represents a unique branch of life sciences, the scope of Zoological
Record also covers every area of animal biology—from biodiversity and the
environment to marine biology and veterinary sciences—offering the most
comprehensive information solution for anyone involved in life sciences.
"Zoological Record is an invaluable resource for those involved in
life sciences from zoology to marine biology, biodiversity, and ecology," said
Jim Pringle, vice president of development, Academic & Government Markets,
Thomson Scientific. "Its thorough indexing and comprehensive and unique content
is further augmented with the highest quality tools and technologies from ISI
Web of Knowledge."
