End-User Searching
Access to several databases supporting the business and scientific needs of the
primary users in the Corporate Services, Energy and Minerals & Metals
Sectors is provided through the Energy, Minerals and Metals information Centre
(EMMIC) Web site. Electronic databases such as Engineering Index (Ei Village)
and Business Source Premier are available for online searching to these clients
from the desktop.
The library subscribes to a reference service from NERAC which provides search
results within 2 business days.
Library Staff Searching
Library personnel can search hundreds of databases via Dialog. This service is available
exclusively to CSS, ES & MMS staff. In most cases searching Dialog is
offered free of charge.
EMMIC will pay up to $500 (US) per topic. For searches over this amount, library
staff and the client will negotiate payment after the library staff provides
an estimate to the client of the cost of the search.
The client will seek approval from his/her lab or division before the search
will progress. EMMIC will notify the client of the exact amount owed when
the invoice is received. Funds will be transferred to EMMIC through an EA.
