The Referral center (RC) of the Matica Srpska Library (MSL) provides during 2002 information from the following databases: 1. Science Ciation Index – SCI (1945-2002) – for natural sciences, 2. Social Sciences Citation Index – SSCI – (1956-2002) – for social sciences and 3. Arts & Humanities Citation Index – A&HCI (1975-1991, 2000-2002) – for art and literature. The bibliographic information is being obtained since 1985 but records with abstracts are available since 1992. The three science citation indexes cover over 8.400 prestigious and most cited world journals. They can be searched by subject and used for the examination of the researchers' impact factors. These information are accessible on CD-ROMs, Internet (Web of Science), and the DIALOG host. MSL owns many databases on CD-ROMs (AGRIS, AGRIS Caris, UNESCO Databases, FAO Documentation, INDEX Translationum, ProQuest Medical Library, etc.). The DIALOG host enables users to access online and 24 hours a day to million documents stored into 450 databases in different fields. Most of the information are with abstracts only though the full text databases are also available. During 2002, MSL obtained several full text databases for search via Internet: eIFL, Idealibrary, ProQuest Medical Library, Link i Free Emerald. Primary documents acquisition is done in collaboration with British Library Document Supply Centre, and article ordering is performed electronically (through ART – Automated Request Transmission). The MSL Referral Center provides its services to the users of the Novi Sad University and cooperates with many users from around the country.
