|
 |
Cairo, Egypt, March 2008
LINK Development created the new bi-lingual portal www.estp.sci.eg for the Egyptian Science and Technical Information Network (ENSINET), a public information services organization.
The portal offers easy online access to global information resources and services for researchers and practitioners in the major science fields across the Arab World. Its main aim is to recreate the same spirit of collaboration and information sharing that the research community enjoys offline in an online platform where they can network and publish information easily.
It includes an impressive array of e-services, including 280,000 bibliographic databases which contain 218,000 records, including books, book reviews, articles, journals, technical reports, multimedia, conference proceedings, thesis and cartographic resources. The databases cover Bio-Medical Sciences, Agriculture & Related Technologies, Pure Sciences, Engineering and Applied Operations.
In addition, an extensive range of journals is available: periodicals, magazines, and yearbooks along with technical reports covering the progress of the Egyptian scientific and technical research and development. Furthermore, 275 hours of audio-visual material that covers topics as diverse as medical procedures to natural phenomena such as solar eclipses and the Mars passage.
There are also conference proceedings: directories of main scientific libraries around the world, projects, organizations, national awards and periodicals, awards and grants, and national as well as international scientific news and events.
Accordingly, the portal is in essence a one-stop source of relevant global information and services, compiled for researchers’ convenience. This in turn makes their lives easier and helps accelerate scientific research and development in the community.
