TOC/DOC: "It Has Changed the Way I Do Science"

In 1988, Caltech initiated an automated service that combined local access to the comprehensive source information from ISI's SciSearch database (recently renamed Science Citation Index Expanded) with its existing document delivery service. This automated service (TOC/DOC, which refers to Tables of Contents/Document Delivery) has undergone a conceptual change from a catalog of locally held journal articles to a more widely based, retrospective service, which has literally "changed the way science is done at Caltech."
