The University Library has acquired the following electronic journal backfiles in perpetuity with funding from HEFCE’s Capital Investment Framework (CIF). This initiative brings the University Library closer to meeting the demands of its users for online access to archival journal content, and further enriching access to the University’s online journal collections.
1. Science Citation Index Expanded and the Social Science Citation Index
Access to the Web of Science Science Citation Index Expanded and the Social Science Citation Index have been extended. The Science Citation ed to include retrospective data from 1900 to the present, and the Social Science Citation Index from 1956 to present. These resources are multidisciplinary indexes to the journal literature in the sciences and social sciences respectively, and fully index over 6,650 major journals in the sciences, and 1,900 journals in the social sciences.
To search the indexes: once you get to the eresources@cambridge page at http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/electronicresources/, click on the "databases" tab, then click on "W" for the list of databases beginning with W, and then scroll down to find Web of Knowledge (which incorporates Web of Science). Click on this and you should get to the Web of Knowledge page. Then click on the Web of Science tab to search it, and you should see the new coverage dates on the screen under "Citation databases". Alternatively you should be able to bookmark Web of Knowledge on your internet browser, or create a shortcut for it on your desktop.
Web of Science requires a Raven login.
