What Is CSA PAIS International and PAIS Archive? The CSA PAIS International database offers access to the international literature in public affairs, public and social policies, and international relations. The database contains references to more than 556,400 journal articles, books, government documents, statistical directories, grey literature, research reports, conference reports, publications of international agencies, microfiche, Internet material, and more. The database backfile dates to 1972: PAIS International includes records from the print PAIS Bulletin 1977 and forward; and from the PAIS print Foreign Language Index published 1972-1990, at which time it merged with the PAIS Bulletin. In addition to English, some of the indexed materials are published in French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish from over 120 countries throughout the world. Subscriptions to CSA PAIS International may be enhanced by adding access to the PAIS Archive. The PAIS Archive database comprises a retrospective conversion of the PAIS Annual Cumulated Bulletin, Volumes 1-62, published 1915-1976. The initial release on the CSA Illumina platform of this conversion project contained over 850,000 records covering the years 1937-1976. Part II of the Archive was made available in Fall 2005 and included records covering the years 1915-1936 bringing the total number of records to more than 1 million. 2 www.csa.com Update: May 2006 by Aimée Leverette The PAIS Archive offers an unparalleled resource for users worldwide who conduct research on global public policy, world affairs, history, and international relations. The PAIS Archive includes carefully selected resources to help users identify and locate information about significant political, economic, social and cultural issues affecting international and local communities, countries, governments and society. Its broad topical scope and retrospective coverage complement more specialized databases that cover the humanities, health care, agriculture, sociology, history, and many other disciplines, providing historical perspective on many of the 20th century's public and social policies. Also, the PAIS Archive database contains references to monographs, periodical articles, notes and announcements, and analytics, and the original historical subject headings have been retained within the file for enhanced searching capabilities. Benefits of CSA PAIS International and PAIS Archive Since its first index was published in 1914, PAIS has chronicled issues in the public debate through highly selective coverage of a wide variety of sources. The current CSA PAIS International database and PAIS Archive enable researchers, students, librarians, government agencies, and others to conduct complete research in the field of global public policy since 1915.

Subject Headings CSA PAIS International strives to provide access to the latest concepts and trends in the literature through the PAIS Subject Headings. As a new term surfaces in the materials being indexed, it is accessible electronically via free-text searching of the abstract and/or title of the bibliographic record. As its usage in the literature increases, a term may be established as a Subject Heading and connected to related terms. Similarly, Subject Headings may be retired as usage of the concept declines. New terminology for existing concepts may also be established. Geographic Subject Headings are similarly maintained. Also, for easier access, PAIS has classified its 7,000 Subject Headings Authority File under 24 Broad Topics and 569 Subtopics. These Subject Headings may be used as searchable fields with the Descriptors (DE=) field when constructing queries (see the Selection and Indexing Policy section for more information). 4 www.csa.com Update: May 2006 by Aimée Leverette CSA PAIS International Broad Topics The system provides subject access to policy approaches in areas and issues of concern to governments, including economic, political, and social background information and statistics.

Access to these databases is included with a subscription to CSA PAIS International on CSA Illumina. Recent References Related to the Social Sciences/Humanities This service supplements CSA Illumina by providing daily updates of citations from over 110 journals in the social sciences. Citations in this database include searchable fields for article title, author name, and journal title. If the search produces any matches to your search, you will see the choice for ‘Recent References Related to the Social Sciences/Humanities.’ Citations identified include those not yet indexed in the CSA Illumina database(s) being searched. Web Resources This database is a collection of over 73,000 high-quality web sites relevant to Social Sciences and the Humanities, which are selected and indexed by our editors. Sites indexed include secondary sources providing specific information of interest to a college- level audience, from respected, non-biased sources such as educational institutions, government agencies, and scientific organizations. Also indexed are sites representing primary sources of interest to social science researchers. Web sites must originate from a reputable source and not appear to be ephemeral. Furthermore, editors avoid sites with an obvious political agenda, although this may be somewhat difficult when monitoring sites that would be of interest to students of political science and history. The URLs must provide immediate access to the web information. The feature can be found as the Web Sites tab, to the right of the Published Materials tab from within the Search Results page (see below). URLs are reviewed on a monthly basis, averaging a phenomenal rate of less than 1% dead links.

Here they are listed in alphabetical order by two-letter code. See Field Codes and Search Examples for detailed descriptions and search examples. AB = Abstract LC = LC Control Number AN = Accession Number PB = Publisher AU = Author PT = Publication Type AV = Availability PY = Publication Year CA = Corporate Author RL = Resource Location DE = Descriptors RP = Report Number FE = Features SR = Series Title IB = ISBN SO = Source IP = Information Provider TI = Title IS = ISSN UD = Update LA = Language • An ISBN search should be constructed without using hyphens, e.g. ib=0849317142, whereas an ISSN search should include hyphens and be placed in parentheses, e.g. is=(0301-4215). • When searching for a title (TI=), note that this field contains the title of the source document in English. Non-Roman titles are transliterated into English as well. • A Corporate Author (CA=) the name of the organization that has produced the original source document. This field is often present when there is no personal author field. Use the distinctive parts of the name when searching this field and do not search for designations such Corp, Co, Company, Ltd. etc, e.g. ca=(environmental protection agency). • The Source field (SO=) contains bibliographic citation information. If the record describes a journal article, the source field in CSA Biological Sciences contains both the full title and the abbreviated journal title. To find the correct form of the abbreviated name, look in the Serials Source List, which is located in the database’s fact sheet. A source need not be a journal article. Conference proceedings also frequently populate the Source field. • When searching for a chart, diagram, illustration (il), index, map, or table, use the Features (FE=) field to limit your search, e.g. fe=(chart and il) not table. This type of search is best paired with a Descriptors (DE=), Keyword (KW=), or other field code search to reduce the number of results to your area of interest. • The Resource Location (RL=) field contains a hyperlinked URL, that, when clicked, will open a new window and display the material associated with the citation. In many instances this is a PDF document, but websites of the organization, institution, or association that published or authored the reference can also be found in this field. [...]...
