The International Seismological Centre anounces release of a CD with its Bulletin for earthquakes of 1998. Like the ISC's other recent CDs, volume 9 includes the complete set of phase data for the year most recently analysed, as well as summary information on all earthquakes back to 1964. The utility has a command line interface that makes it easy for users to integrate iscbul into their scripts. The PDF documents include bookmarks to make it easier to find particular earthquakes. ISC CDs 1 through 9 are available for purchase to institutions, and to individuals at discounted rates.
Further discounts are currently on offer for purchases of complete sets.
The American Geophysical Union recognises the ISC as a citable data source, and users are encouraged to cite the ISC in journals of the AGU and other publishers. The ISC is grateful for reprints or other direct notification of publications that use ISC data.
