ON JULY 15, 1955, DR. EUGENE GARFIELD REVOLUTIONIZED RESEARCH WITH HIS CONCEPT OF CITATION INDEXING AND SEARCHING.

With the publication of his ground-breaking paper “Citation Indexes for Science: A New Dimension in Documentation through Association of Ideas,” Dr. Garﬁ eld laid the foundation for what is now, Web of Science®. To this day, only Web of Science® offers a true cited reference index which is still the best tool for discovery and the only method of retrieving accurate citation counts.

Challenge: Simplify digitization and unify access to local special collections

Solution: Content Pro digital library tool

Result: Faster workflow and united access to both university archives and museum holdings

When the University of Western Ontario's McIntosh Art Gallery (Canada) staff decided to digitize their unique collection, the Library began using Content Pro to unite access to both archival materials and local artwork. Bringing it all together, simplifying workflow, and supporting teaching and research–now that's the art of the library.
