ContentScan Introduces NeuroDome™ Information Service
ContentScan Introduces its NeuroDome Online information service for neuroscientists and neurologists. NeuroDome is available to academic, medical and hospital libraries.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) October 11, 2003 -
ContentScan, Inc. announced today the launch of NeuroDomeTM (www. neurodome. com), the latest in its DomeTM line of discipline-specific online information services. NeuroDome was developed to meet the specific information needs of researchers, educators, students, and clinicians in the growing fields of neuroscience and neurology. This premier service provides access to a comprehensive, richly-integrated network of information resources including journal articles, books, institutions, scholars, and quality Web sites.
Like all Domes, NeuroDome is continuously updated and all information found can be accessed either from a libraryÂ’s local collection using OpenURL and SFX linking, or from direct links to content providers. Resources included in NeuroDome are refereed and selected based on their relevance to the fields using both advanced statistical analysis and expert mediated editorial processes.
“NeuroDome is a librarian’s ally in meeting the demanding informational needs of patrons interested in neuroscience and neurology,” states Samir Singh, president of ContentScan. He continues, “NeuroDome will instantly connect its users to the neuroscience knowledge base, which will save them valuable time.”
NeuroDome users connect only to relevant information on topics of interest within neuroscience and neurology. Expert editorial content selection, unique content categories, and advanced search technologies make the NeuroDome a powerful addition to a libraryÂ’s electronic resource base. Users are also able to organize and share their findings with faculty, students, colleagues, and bibliographers using the DomeÂ’s proprietary Save & ShareTM technology, a full-featured reference storage, management, annotation, and sharing suite.
Mr. Singh continued, “The NeuroDome is the most recent of many discipline-specific Domes planned for 2003. Each Dome is created within our proprietary Multi-DomeTM architecture, which enables us to create Domes in multiple disciplines simultaneously, and to offer these Dome services to users worldwide.”
Earlier this year, ContentScan successfully launched its first Dome information service, ComDisDomeTM (www. comdisdome. com), designed specifically for library patrons and clinicians in the fields of communications sciences and disorders. The Library Journal, in a September 15, 2003 review, stated that ComDisDome “… delivers exactly what it promises … by searching multiple content sources in a single search, it provides access to high-quality relevant information…highly recommended for medical libraries, academic, and public libraries…” Several additional Domes, including CancerDome™, are scheduled for release later this year.
NeuroDome is available to libraries through an annual subscription site license program, and to professionals and other individuals through a variety of online subscription packages. For a free trial of NeuroDome, please contact Todd Savitt at (858) 452-1264 x102 or via e-mail at toddsavitt@contentscan. com.
