Times Digital Archive adds over 20 years

The Times Digital Archive 1785-2010 in a new extended version adds over 20 years to the original 1785-1985 edition, offering users an extra 585,000 pages, approx. 3.4 million articles, and more than 6,500 issues.

The old interface has been replaced by a new one offering additional features:

• Citation generation – users can now automatically create citations and export them to 3rd party bibliographic software, such as EndNote and RefWorks
• Named user functionality – a Gale account allows users to save searches and marked items across sessions
• New image viewer – ability to manipulate images more easily and view articles and whole pages full screen
• Wider variety of printing options – making printing awkward size articles much easier
• …and an all-new design, making the archive a more pleasant experience to users

FRANCIS and PASCAL

The FRANCIS and PASCAL databases are now available via this link on the Cambridge LibGuides Databases A-Z:

http://pascal-francis.inist.fr/home/

The site Free Access to Pascal and Francis is an archive of the PASCAL and FRANCIS bibliographic databases in exact, human and social sciences, produced by the Inist-CNRS since 1972 and hitherto accessible with a subscription.

Three search modes are featured: simple, advanced, expert. You can also browse the content of PASCAL and FRANCIS by keywords (vocabulary) or by thematics (classification).

“The opening of the FRANCIS and PASCAL bibliographic data on this website fits into the recommendations expressed by the Scientific Information Department of the CNRS, which advocate the dissemination and opening in free access of the Pascal and Francis archive.”

“In its 1 (initial) Version the site offers a free access to more than 14 million bibliographic references of articles, conference papers and conference proceedings produced by the Inist-CNRS from 1984 to 2015 for PASCAL (12 millions) and from 1972 to 2015 for FRANCIS (2 millions). It will become progressively enriched with other document types and with records of partners having cooperated to PASCAL and FRANCIS supply in the past.”

LONDON–With an injured rib smarting, Kei Nishikori kept going until he couldn’t stand it any longer. The time to call it quits came Monday in the fourth round at Wimbledon, trailing 6-1, 5-1 against Marin Cilic on No. 2 Court. “Even before the match, I knew it’s not going to be easy for me to play 100 percent,” Niskikori said. “Every point I played, it got worse. I didn’t want to, but I guess I had to retire today.”
