A special feature is its citation indexing.
Users can identify an older work and find current articles citing that work in their bibliographies.
This feature is used to update and concept. The number of citations are also considered in judging the popularity of a previously-published book or article. Current students, faculty, and students should be able to reach it via campus ethernet connections and off-site using a modem that dials into an Ann Arbor NAS number and is configured with a University of Michigan IP address. If you do not choose a data base, the default is the Sciences Citation Index. You may leave the default at all years.
