The newly merged company, ProQuest CSA, has announced additional content for CSA Illustrata, its digital resource specifically dedicated to data presented in tables, figures, charts, illustrations, and their captions. ProQuest CSA and Elsevier have signed an agreement to make tables, figures, and illustrations from a selection of Elsevier’s natural science journals available through CSA Illustrata: Natural Sciences, which provides access to more than 1 million records from notable scholarly journals. Elsevier natural science journals, including Deep-Sea Research Part I, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, Toxicology, and Virology, will be cross-searchable with journals from other publishers, including Blackwell Publishing, Oxford University Press, and others.CSA Illustrata is a Web-based solution (that runs on the CSA Illumina platform) providing access to indexed tables, figures, and other objects found in scholarly research literature. CSA Illustrata is designed to provide greater precision, efficiency, and relevance in researching graphical content. Forthcoming CSA Illustrata releases are planned in other key research areas. Additional information about CSA Illustrata as well as the concept and research behind deep indexing is available at http://info.csa.com/csaillustrata.
