INSPEC (via Ovid)

New platform:
The INSPEC database is now available via the ISI's Web of Knowledge platform. Access to Ovid's version of this database will end on Tuesday, June 30, 2009.
Both versions will run in parallel until the end of June. Beginning July 1, 2009 the INSPEC content will be available on the Web of Knowledge platform.

The new Web of Knowledge interface will combine the content of the current INSPEC file (1969-present) and the INSPEC Archive file (1898-1968) into a single database, simplifying the searching process.
