[Sci-all-l] Web of Science visit Thursday

[Flora Grabowska]

Web of Science reps want to show us what a great tool it is.   You 
are invited to their presentation on Thursday May 4th at 10.30 am in 
the library electronic classroom.  I know this is a bad time for 
everyone and I expect that few of you will be able to attend but come 
if you are able.  I will be there, on your behalf, paying close 
attention.

Web of Science and Scopus are both very expensive resources and  we 
will have to choose which to keep as the better resource for Vassar 
College.  I am seeking your input and will send out a further request 
with points for consideration during study week.

Our contract with WoS runs through December 2007.
Meanwhile we have Scopus on trial until Dec 2006 but we have to sign 
a contract if we mean to keep it by October 2006 and we need to 
decide before then.

What I would really like to see is WoS and Scopus both lower their 
prices so we could keep both but this may not happen.

Good Morning Flora:

I wanted to confirm our meeting on Thursday May 4th, 2006 @ 10:30am. 
I will be bringing with me one of our global sales team members to 
present on the developments and enhancements, as it is a great 
presentation. Please let me know if you have any questions. I will be 
out of the office this afternoon but can be reached on my cell phone 
at 267.303.9208. Thank you again, and I look forward to meeting with 
you.
