WilsonWeb Gains Applied Science & Technology Index Retrospective

H.W. Wilson (www.hwwilson.com)has added the new Applied Science & Technology Index Retrospective:1913-1983 to its WilsonWeb service. The historical content comes from the H.W.Wilson reference sources Applied Science & Technology Index and Industrial Arts Index. With coverage of more than 1,400 periodicals encompassing morethan 3 million articles,  the Applied Science & Technology Index Retrospective is designed to help users track down important studies, probe historical controversies, find papers by innovators, research the development of technologies, explore corporate chronicles, review historical opinion and predictions, and much more.

Coverage includes the gamut of applied science specialties—acoustics to aeronautics, machine learning to meteorology, textiles to transportation. A dedicated editorial board has guided periodicals selection throughout the lives of the two indexes.

The database has updated subject headings designed to make finding information easy with contemporary terms, though original subject headings are also displayed and searchable on WilsonWeb. Names used as subject headings are standardized throughout the years of coverage, to ensure retrieval of all records about an individual or a company. Applied Science & Technology Index Retrospective searches seamlessly with Wilson's Applied Science & Technology Full Text database, offering nearly a century of data combined.

Free 30-day trials are available at www.hwwilson.com/trial. For more information on Applied Science & Technology Index Retrospective: 1913-1983, visit www.hwwilson.com/astretro.
