Contribution to special issue of this journal on information science at the millennium. Reviews the history of Information Science Abstracts (ISA) and the history of attempts to define information science. A new working definition is derived from both the historical review and current technological advances. The definition departs from the previous document centric definitions and concentrates on the Internet dominated industry of today. Information science is a discipline drawing on important concepts from a number of closely related disciplines that become a cohesive whole focusing on information. The relationships between these interrelated disciplines are portrayed on a 'map' of the field, in which the basic subjects are shown as a central 'core' with related areas surrounding it. (AU) |

Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (www.csa.com) began nearly 50 years ago as a publisher of scientific and technical abstracting journals. However in recent years it has broadened its scope of topics and types of sources and changed its name to CSA. Part of the Cambridge Information Group (CIG), CSA now publishes databases and journals on many subjects, including social sciences and humanities, and provides access to these and other companies' products through its Internet Database Service (IDS). Outlines CSA's acquisitions history, describes its target markets and main products, and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the IDS search facilities. Concludes that the company's aggressive acquisitions policy, emphasis on cooperative arrangements and linking, and improved search system are making it a growing player in the library market place.
