Introducing the New Standard in Research Indexes Over the years, CRC Handbooks have gained a reputation for providing valuable, up-to-date scientific data covering a broad range of topics from many different fields. In 1971, CRC Press published the first Composite Index for CRC Handbooks so that Handbook users could quickly find information in the Handbooks without spending hours searching through library stacks. A second edition of the Composite Index was published in 1977. Now, CRC Press is proud to announce the Composite Index for CRC Handbooks, 3rd Edition, which covers most Handbooks published since 1977, in addition to many of the earlier Handbooks. We've taken great care to ensure the accuracy of the new three-volume, 3000 page Index, while at the same time utilizing new technology that enables the entire Index to be stored and accessed on a CD-ROM included with the hardbound volumes. We've also added a new FAX Delivery Service to provide pages from CRC Handbooks that may not be available from the library. Annual supplements on a subscription basis will ensure that the Composite Index is kept current as new Handbooks are published. The Composite Index for CRC Handbooks, 3rd Edition truly sets a new standard for research indexes. 3 Volumes-3,000 Pages The Composite Index for CRC Handbooks, 3rd Edition, is a merged, unified three-volume index for over 300 CRC Handbook volumes. Now, you can consult a single index containing 600,000 entries to locate information from the over 140,000 pages of scientific information provided by CRC Handbooks. CRC Handbooks include topics from the fields of biomedical sciences, biology, chemistry, engineering, computer science, physics, and mathematics. By including subjects, compounds, and names of organisms, the Composite Index helps you locate information within these topics quickly, saving you valuable research time. Each index entry identifies the specific CRC Handbook volume and page range containing the information you seek. Never before has such a comprehensive and useful reference resource been offered to the scientific community. CD-ROM When you purchase the Composite Index, you get more than just the hardcover volumes. The entire Composite Index has been transferred to a CD-ROM disk that is included with the printed index volumes at no additional charge. A printed instruction manual and quick reference card for using the program are also included. The CD-ROM gives you the freedom to consult the index electronically, as well as by looking through the volume pages themselves. The CD-ROM's retrieval program offers superior search capabilities that make finding information in the Composite Index faster, easier, and more efficient than you ever thought possible. The retrieval program allows you to locate entries in the Composite Index using word searches, which can be initiated by scrolling through a list of words and selecting the word to be located. Searches can be saved and later restored, or you can combine them with other searches to create new queries. Other features include browsing, electronic bookmarks, output capability to printers and files, customization options, and on-line help. Simple prompts and menus put you only a few keystrokes away from the wealth of scientific information provided by the Composite Index. The CD-ROM is designed to operate on IBM PC/XT/AT, PS/2, or 100% IBM-compatible computers. FAX Delivery Service Need a few pages from a CRC Handbook fast?
