8. Introduction of Unicat
UNICAT is the National Serials Union Catalogue and
Books Union Catalogue in CAS for the CHINA research
community
In 1983,1989 and 2002 be supported by Funding of
CAS, MOST and CAS
UNICAT is a freely available tool to help both
researchers and librarians locate serials held in the
China, books held in the CAS
It contains serials bibliographic and holdings information
from over 400 China research libraries, including
university Libraries and military Libraries
It contains books bibliographic and holdings information
from over 60 institute libraries in CAS
Print and electronic forms are all in it

10. How important are E-journals?
96.1% of Science journals are online
86.5% of Arts and Humanities are online
2006-2007 –102,000,000 downloads
Up 21% from previous year
17% usage is at the weekend

14. How does it work
To develop member libraries in share principle
Centralised database based on oracle DBMS
Member libraries provide data by Z39.50 protocol or web
browser
There is a team in CAS to manage data and control data
quality
Member libraries can download bibliographic record
Users in member libraries can visit Unicat system freely

27. Question
I find more value of Suncat in controlling data quality, it is
helpful to certify unique title of serials and to provide
accurate information for knowledgebases
OpenUrl router being a middleware, its benefits for service
providers and libraries are obviously excellent
There are currently 95 Institutions who have registered
their OpenURL Resolvers with the Router. It receives in the
regions of 100,000 requests per day for routing.
From Deo statistics by email
It is truly indeed a popular piece of middleware,Even
though there are less than 10 OpenUrl linking resolvers
running in China
31. ScienceChina (SC) - Introduction
SC is a service system of Chinese science and
technology literature
SC is the Web-based platform that integrate
Web-
current core chinese journal articles ,references
and relationships based on cited behavior.
Additionally, SC provide a link resolver services
SC was built in 2002,by the library of CAS, part
of National Science Digital Library Project
(CSDL)
32. ScienceChina – SubDatabase
SC consists of :
Chinese Science Citation Database(CSCD)
CSCD Essential Science Indicators (CSCD-ESI)
CSCD Journal Citation Reports (CSCD-JCR)
Chinese Science Document Database(CSDD)
CSCD CSCD-ESI
CSDD CSCD-JCR
33. Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD)
The CSCD provides seamless access to current
and retrospective multidisciplinary information from
approximate 1000 of the most prestigious research
journals in China
CSCD also provides a unique search method--
method--
cited reference searching. With it, users can
navigate forward, backward, and through the
literature, searching all disciplines and time spans
to discover all the information relevant to their
research
36. Data statistics of CSCD
