Abstract

In 2004, we digitized our printed abstracting and indexing services and created the Inspec Archive. It gives you electronic access to the scientific literature from 1898-1968, complementing the Inspec data base. In this video you will learn how the Atchive gives access to the often forgotten works (sometimes known as 'sleeping beauties') that may be of use in assessing the validity of current patents.
