The New Zealand Veterinary Journal recently celebrated 50 years of publication with the release of its entire 50-year archive on CD-Rom in full text, together with a special Jubilee Issue featuring 120 pages of reviews, commentaries and highlights of veterinary research in New Zealand over the last 100 years.

The three-CD set incorporates custom search software written specifically for the NZVJ that is very powerful and VERY FAST. This sophisticated capability allows the user to search the titles and/or full text of all articles for any word or combination of words, as well as to search indexes of author, volume, year, article type, animal type and subject, and to retrieve the full text of any article immediately. Single and multi user licenses are available.

The CD archive is available for PC and Mac computers and can be loaded on to computer hard-drives and intra-nets. Annual releases will allow the resource to be added to and updated each year. A demonstration version available on the website showcases the search tool and data from the last five years of NZVJ publication, but without full text.

To date, few fully refereed science journals are able to offer such a complete and comprehensive resource!
