Abstract

The article presents a concise report on the experience gained in the last three years in the scope of network provision of bibliographic databases by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and full-text humanities and medical databases by EBSCO Publishing. The authors emphasise the importance and impact of the programme and the databases, co-financed by the State Committee for Scientific Research, on the initiation and continuation of organisational activities and efficient database access management. The paper contains a short review of the information resources presently available, including the titles of bibliographic and full-text databases, the scope of licences, subscription periods, and the volumes of archival resources. It provides statistics illustrating the distribution and extent of the bibliographic database usage by the scientific community, including, active institutional and individual, users and discusses the hardware and software used to provide the network database access services, the availability conditions, as well as the rules of license renewal and co-financing by the interested institutions. The report also deals with the access conditions and access abilities to the electronic versions of humanities, economics and medical databases offered by EBSCO Publishing. It is vital to show the structure of the service, the scope of subjects available in the databases, title estimation and the access to html, as well as image source types. Moreover, the report focuses on the modes of access to single database and to several of them simultaneously, as well as on multi-aspect searching with the use of the author and subject indexes and keywords.
