2.9 Million Records in INIS Database: Production Year 2007 Successfully Completed
28 December 2007 – The successful completion of the production year 2007 brings the total number of bibliographic records in the INIS Database to 2.9 million.
117 440 records were added in 2007, which is the second-best annual result achieved in the history of INIS, and just 5 000 records less than in 2006. Over the past years, the annual input of records into the INIS Database has increased constantly, almost doubling the number of annual entries since 2000. Adding bibliographic references to more journal articles and other literature from INIS Member States has further improved the comprehensiveness of the INIS Database, which covers all areas of the IAEA's activities.
2007 also brought an 8 percent increase in the number of full-text documents added to the INIS collection of 'grey' non-conventional literature, such as scientific and technical reports, conference proceedings, patents, theses, and preprints. 30 018 documents were included this year. 225 830 full-text documents are now available in PDF, and can be downloaded directly from the INIS Database on the Internet.
