Access to SOLIS and SOFIS via hosts
SOLIS and SOFIS
are both available
via the hosts STN International as well as GBI each of them using a specific command language and
providing a different 'database environment'; both databases are as well accessible on the hosts' www-server.
Database
searches resp. the database output are liable for the
costs. So, the precondition for access to all hosts (including
their web servers) is that you have got an access
authorisation which one receives on application from the hosts.
The authorisation allows access to all available online databases held by
the host - usually not less than a hundred or more from different subject
areas. This offers a unique possibility, with a single
search strategy, to combine information from many relevant
databases.
- STN International (The Scientific
& Technical Information Network)
is operated cooperatively by the Fachinformationszentrum (FIZ)
Karlsruhe, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) of the American Chemical
Society, and the Japan Information Center of Science and Technology, and
is one of the largest database providers in the field of science and
technology. The main focus in its contents is natural science and technical databases, but
there are also multidisciplinary databases providing research as
well as bibliographic information, plus a series of databases on
specialised topics, which contain information highly relevant to the
social sciences, for example the database on medicine/health, the environment, environmental planning
and urban development.
The command language for searches in all STN databases is MESSENGER - also
for searches via "STN on the web". In addition the
network provides web access to selected key databases with "STN
Easy".
- GBI (Gesellschaft
für Betriebswirtschaftliche Information - German Business Information
)
The main focus of the GBI host is databases for business and management with information
on German and international businesses, products and market studies as
well as databases with economic and social science
information.
The command language for searches in all GBI databases is AOS. In addition
the databases can be searched via www.
Information searches in the databases via hosts are liable for the
costs and requires a valid access authorisation. Should you require such
an authorisation, please contact the relevant host directly via telephone,
fax or e-mail.
