Abstract

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Library provides its users in four geographic locations with digital library services including over 500 electronic journals. The InfoWeb Information System and Gateway serves as a single point of access to these services. InfoWeb capabilities prominently featured in this article include the following: (1) the TORPEDO Ultra Digital Library Initiative, (2) the Library's web-based Unicorn STILAS catalog, (3) a locally-mounted "Web of Science" Science Citation Index Expanded database, and (4) Contents-to-Go, a custom-developed current awareness and document delivery service. TORPEDO Ultra provides institutional researchers with a unified way to search all the Library's digital collections, whether these materials originate from a commercial publisher such as Elsevier; an association publisher such as the American Physical Society; or a government publisher such as NRL. In addition. TORPEDO Ultra provides an infrastructure that enables databases that have traditionally served as pointers to documents to now deliver that content directly. In a future release, TORPEDO Ultra will enable end-user scientists to search and link to journals residing on publisher web sites at the same time that they are searching locally mounted electronic journals.
