CSA Illumina, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts' new interface for online bibliographic and full-text searching, is now available on the Stanford Libraries' Databases A-Z page. You can search a single database from CSA, such as Sociological Abstracts, GeoRef, or Philosopher's Index, but you can also search every database available on the long list of CSA databases or select a grouping of databases, including: Arts & Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Technology.
A small + sign at the top of the results page allows you to see just how many hits you've received for each database and go directly to them. By marking citations, you can easily import them into RefWorks, a web-based bibliographic management system, which is available to all Stanford patrons for creating bibliographies in a wide range of styles. For more information about RefWorks and how to get it, see Is RefWorks 4U? in the April 2003 issue of this newsletter.
