Description

KR ScienceBase is a World Wide Web-based searching tool that allows scientists and knowledge workers to access high-quality databases. It is targeted at chemists and biologists, but physicians, other health care professionals, and people in related disciplines can also benefit from its use. By designing a product that automatically selects databases, and formulates a search utilizing state-of-the-art search strategies, a scientist can easily obtain answers to questions that they come across in the research process. This allows the researcher to be more productive. However, when researchers need a more thorough search performed, they will still need the information professional.
