WoK’s Conference Proceedings Citation Index along with the just released “Book Citation Index” will be available as part of a trial from December 1^st through the 31st. Find them activated under the regular link for our Web of Science subscription on the front page of the Library website.

A few questions for faculty reviewers.

• Drexel users can already use Summon to search for much of the content covered by the WoK proceedings index. How important is the citation information for proceedings?
• The WoK books index covers titles since 2005, about 30,000 in all that they plan to grow by 10,000 per year. It’s roughly 40% sciences, and 60% social science and humanities. Would citations of this literature make a difference to you? (Partial list of participating publishers available by request.)
• We did *not* request a trial of the Chinese Science Citation Database. Should we have? Why?
