FIZ Karlsruhe (www.fiz-karlsruhe.de) now offers its computer science portal io-port.net, which was launched for the first time 3 years ago (www.io-port.net), free of charge with a new database interface and numerous new search functions. The database contains links to electronic fulltext, and, for most of the references, article summaries or abstracts written by scientists.
It is a free database with more than 1 million computer science publications, covering 1931-present. The company says this makes it the “most comprehensive source of data on the historical development of computer science.” Documents from different sources are offered in a standardized format through one common search interface (duplicates have been removed):
- CompuScience produced by FIZ Karlsruhe
- Digital Bibliography & Library Project (DBLP) offered by the University of Trier
- Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI) and other publications by Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI) e.V.
- IEEE Computer Society Digital Library
- Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LCNS) by Springer-Verlag
- Publications from other publishers (e.g., Elsevier GmbH, Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Blackwell Verlag GmbH, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, IOS Verlag, World Scientific Publishing Co., and Taylor and Francis Group)
