New on WilsonWeb—Applied Science & Technology Index Retrospective: 1913-1983
Versatile Online Searching Meets Seven Decades of Acclaimed Applied Science Coverage

New York, New York, August 13, 2007
H.W. Wilson today announced the debut of Applied Science & Technology Index Retrospective: 1913-1983—a vast mine of historical content from the acclaimed H.W. Wilson references Applied Science & Technology Index and Industrial Arts Index. With coverage of more than 1,400 periodicals encompassing more than 3 million articles, Applied Science & Technology Index Retrospective helps users track down important studies, probe historical controversies, find papers by innovators, research the development of technologies, explore corporate chronicles, review historical opinion and predictions, and much more.

From the rise and fall of thalidomide to the effects of pesticides on the environment, from the evolution of satellite technology to the dawn of the global economy, users will find the most pivotal papers and informative articles to aid research on any historical subject.

Coverage includes the gamut of applied science specialties--acoustics to aeronautics, machine learning to meteorology, textiles to transportation. A dedicated editorial board has guided periodicals selection throughout the lives of Applied Science & Technology Index and Industrial Arts Index—and their emphasis on quality and peer-review ensures that the most relevant sources in each applied science specialty are represented in Applied Science & Technology Index Retrospective.

Updated subject headings make finding information easy with contemporary terms, though original subject headings are also displayed and searchable on WilsonWeb. Names used as subject headings are standardized throughout the years of coverage, to ensure retrieval of all records about an individual or a company.

Applied Science & Technology Index Retrospective searches seamlessly with Wilson's Applied Science & Technology Full Text database, offering nearly a century of valuable data combined.

Wilson Retrospective databases also include Art Index Retrospective: 1929-1984; Biography Index: Past and Present; Book Review Digest Retrospective: 1905-1982; Education Index Retrospective: 1929-1983; Humanities & Social Sciences Index Retrospective: 1907-1984; Index to Legal Periodicals Retrospective: 1908-1981; Readers' Guide Retrospective: 1890-1982; and—debuting this fall—Business Periodicals Index Retrospective: 1913-1982.
