New on CA on CD : linking to ChemPort for full text documents

Kan Sok Cheng, Science Library

With effect from the October 1999 update of CA on CD (Chemical Abstracts), a new feature has been added to enable you to link directly to a full text electronic article from the bibliographic citation. This feature is available on both CA on CD and CI on CD (Collective Index). The majority of the links to full text electronic articles are to articles published from 1996 or 1997 onwards, with some links to articles from earlier years.

To view an article electronically from the full record display, click on the Full text button.
