Excerpta Medica Embase and Embase Alert on SilverPlatter

October 19, 1993 -- SilverPlatter Information and Elsevier Science
Publishers announces the availability of the prestigious Excerpta Medica -
EMBASE databases on SilverPlatter. Due for release in December 1993, two
separate databases, EMBASE and EMBASE ALERT, will be available.

EMBASE offers comprehensive coverage of biomedical bibliographic
information, focusing on drugs and pharmacology, human medicine and
relevant biomedical science. The database contains over 4 million records
drawn from over 3,600 international biomedical journals published in 110
countries worldwide.

Updated monthly, over 377,000 new records are added each year . Every
record contains CAS registry numbers, trade names, and manufacturer's
names to facilitate retrieval of drug related information. The database
also features EMTREE, the EMBASE Thesaurus, which consists of over 36,000
descriptors plus 150,000 synonyms, and which has been supplemented with
MeSH terms from the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

EMBASE ALERT provides access to pre-indexed citations and abstracts from
approximately 3,500 key international journals. New citations and
abstracts are available on CD-ROM, generally, within 14 days of
publication. Updated biweekly, the database contains a three month rolling
file of current information.

EMBASE ALERT contains records that are not yet available on any other
database providing prompt and timely information on current developments
in the field of biomedical research.

SilverPlatter commented, "The currency plus the extensive coverage of the
Excerpta Medica EMBASE databases make this an exciting and positive
addition to the range of health sciences databases available on
SilverPlatter. It ensures that the right information is now available for
professionals and researchers in the pharmaceutical industry and academic
research institutions, plus it's available in real time ahead of many of
the other major databases in this field."

As one of the first providers of information on CD-ROM, SilverPlatter has a
distinguished reputation for bringing the right information with the right
software to the service of its markets.
