ContentScan and Majors Scientific Books Bring the Discipline-Specific Dome Information Service to Medical and Hospital Libraries
Majors Scientific Books will distribute ContentScan's popular discipline-specific Dome information services to medical and hospital libraries.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 11, 2003
ContentScan, Inc., publisher of the popular Dome family of discipline-specific online information services, today announced an agreement with Majors Scientific Books to distribute ContentScanÂ’s entire line of Dome services to medical and hospital libraries.
From one convenient accessible location, each Dome increases research productivity while searching across content categories that include: journal articles; books; grants; authors; web resources; and institutions. The Dome delivers more of what researchers needÂ…quickly and easily:
• Content is vetted by experts in a discipline so users receive focused, high-quality, relevant information;
• Increased exposure to the content and community of the discipline provides exponential increase in information exposure;
• Continual updates keep users connected with the latest information;
• Save & Share feature lets researchers save, annotate, and export research results to personal web pages for sharing.
Resources included in each Dome are refereed and selected based on their relevance to their fields. Each item within the Dome is linked to related items, providing researchers with the most richly networked and easily navigable representation of their disciplineÂ’s content and community available today.
"This agreement marks another significant milestone in our relationship with Majors Scientific Books that began in 2001," said Samir Singh, President of ContentScan. “Our relationship with Majors is driven by mutual goals -- to provide high-quality online information solutions and to deliver these solutions through world-class customer service provided by the Majors sales team.”

"Our relationship with ContentScan represents significant momentum toward applying information and Internet search technologies to meet the needs of library patrons in the health science and medical fields. We are confident that ContentScan’s editorial and technology teams understand the challenges of serving our customer’s specific information needs.”
