Current information service covers all subject areas of science and technology and offers easy access to the world of conferences via a database with user-friendly search functions
Fiz Karlsruhe, a producer and provider of sci-tech databases and European service centre of online service for sci-tech information STN International, has enhanced and complemented its comprehensive conference information service for intranets.
Users may now choose between three options: Confnet - the fully searchable database with conference previews reaching to the year 2010; CIS - the customised easy-navigable html version; or raw data for free use in the corporate intranet.
This convenient offer is complemented by CLOU, the free weekly newsletter for CIS users and buyers of raw data.
The new service Confnet covers all subject areas of science and technology and offers easy access to the world of conferences via a database with user-friendly search functions.
It is updated weekly and contains approximately 7000 conference previews, reaching beyond the year 2010.
Relevant information can be found quickly and efficiently through a concise search mask, eg, using German or English keywords, a standardised classification or searching by country or conference date.
No special retrieval language is required.
Another novelty is CLOU (Conferences Look Out), the free weekly newsletter for CIS customers and buyers of raw data, an alert service with new information from the Conf database.
The conferences are announced in an HTML file (just title, venue and date).
This service can help to keep intranet news sections up to date, and at the same time it regularly promotes the conference service the customer has subscribed to.
The existing Conference Information Service CIS was enhanced with user-friendly options.
CIS is a subject-related excerpt from Conf, compiled according to the customers' wishes and thus specifically tailored to the information requirements of the respective companies.
CIS and Confnet may either be integrated into corporate intranets or linked to the Fiz Karlsruhe server.
Besides these ready-made offers, customers can also be supplied with raw data (in a categorized Ascii text format) for free use, eg, in their own databases, as an e-mail alert service, etc The ingenious combination of these services makes the Conf Intranet Solutions provided by Fiz Karlsruhe the first choice for conference information worldwide, says the company.
Special benefits are the topicality of the provided information, the calculable costs and the central access to conference information directly from the corporate intranet, which makes time-consuming and expensive searches in the internet unnecessary.
The above offers are based on the conference database Conf with more than 185,000 conference records from organisers from all over the world.
Conf is offered worldwide via the online service STN International, along with its other 220 sci-tech databases.
