Thomson Reuters Partners With Egyptian Universities Libraries to Provide Research Solutions

PHILADELPHIA and LONDON - The Healthcare and Science business of Thomson Reuters today announced
that Egyptian Universities Libraries (EUL) has selected Thomson Reuters to
provide research solutions to their consortium of university libraries. EUL
signed a multi-year contract with Thomson Reuters to provide Egypt’s
researcher’s access to ISI Web of Knowledge(SM).

“We are excited to bring ISI Web of Knowledge to our members and to
provide them with complete access to information necessary to further their
world-class research,” said Dr. Hany Helal, Egyptian Minister of Higher
Education & Scientific Research. “We have found that compared to other
services on the market, Thomson Reuters offers an unparalleled depth and
breadth of content within its research solutions.”

ISI Web of Knowledge is an integrated, versatile research platform that
helps users find, analyze and manage information in the sciences, social
sciences and arts and humanities.

Using the Web of Science, the multidisciplinary bibliographic resource
within ISI Web of Knowledge, EUL members now have access to nearly 11,000 of
the most prestigious research journals from around the world. Additionally,
EUL now offers its researchers other key components of ISI Web of Knowledge,
including Journal Citation Reports(R) — a systemic, objective way to
evaluate, categorize and compare the world’s leading scholarly journals; and
MEDLINE — a premier bibliographic database that indexes life sciences
records from 1950 to the present.

“We are delighted to be providing Egyptian Universities Libraries with
our world-class platform,” said Keith MacGregor, executive vice president of
Scientific and Scholarly Research solutions at Thomson Reuters. “Our products
offer Egypt’s leading researchers the tools necessary to search the right
content and find relevant information employing one integrated, versatile and
easy to use system.”
