DYABOLA Databases



From now on all image databases are available at significant lower prices. As a subscriber to our databases you receive the possibility to access the databases online via password or IP adress. In addition you can run the databases locally under Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 Prof. and Windows XP. The installation procedure has been fully automated therefore. For local installation you'll get one DVD or CD-ROM and a printed version of the introducing manual for the database projects. The more far reaching Dyabola User Manual is available on this homepage in the manual section (html/pdf).

General Information
 

Your personal key:
As a DYABOLA customer you'll get your personal key. Please keep this key with great care. It serves not only as online password; even if you have IP-Access you will need it for the lokal installation of your new databases or updates.

  IP-Access:
Als Institution erhalten Sie bequemen Zugang zu den Online-Datenbanken über IP-Access. Sie müssen also nicht allen Mitarbeitern das Passwort mitteilen. Wir benötigen lediglich die IP-Adresse(n) ihres/r Gateway-Server(s). Bitte senden Sie zur Einrichtung Ihres persönlichen IP-Zuganges die erforderlichen Adressen mit dem Betreff "IP-Access" an info@dyabola.de.
  Network license:
So long as the network only connects one individual institute or an individual department, no additional costs are incurred. If however a network connects a number of different institutes or departments the license price is calculated accordingly.
  Prices:
The prices are subject to the mandatory VAT (value added tax).
Retailers rebate: 20 % on all prices.
  Technical Requirements:
The comfortable internet user interface is platform indipendent and optimized for browsers of the generation 5/6 with at least XGA resolution and 65'000 colors. Javascript has to be enabled.
An usual windows computer will work for local installation of the literature databases. The object/image databases need a professional windows version (NT/2000/XP). We recommend fast processors and high speed hard drives.

Please refer to the User's Manual for more information.
  Inquiry engine FREE OF CHARGE
Accesses all databases and is supplied free of charge when a database is purchased. Three versions are available:
The web-version: The user-friendly internet user interface works with every common web-browser.
Search of object and image databases: A particular access structure has been tailored to meet the requirements of complex scientific contexts. The object databases have a methodically networked text which permits associative scientific work, guarantees free navigation through the comprehensive information and stimulates impulses for new questions. A re-programmed module for image display permits the use of any preferred graphics card. The only condition for this function is Windows NT. The new image display has its own image storage, a double display, an index display and a zoom function, so long as the images are of the corresponding size. In addition it is possible to change the contrast and brightness of an image temporarily.
Search of literature databases: This search system was originally conceived for MS-DOS computers. Use is menu-driven, i.e. the user can find his way through the electronic data processing without any previous experience. Every imaginable form and combination of searching has been made possible (according to key-words, catchwords, author, beginning of a title, excerpt from a title, date, etc.). Within seconds the answer appears on the monitor and can be printed out. All European symbols are included including the Greek alphabet and are correctly displayed. The finely structured key-word system informs the researcher about the very newest and most remote monographs and articles on every subject. If the user only vaguely remembers a citation from the published works of an author- even by referring to certain years - he can search for the beginning of a literature quotation, for the index of a volume of newspapers or any other omnibus, he can even search for a single term he may remember from the title. In no time at all the lost quotation has been found. The presenter of a seminar can call up the literature on the theme of his lecture just by pressing a key, and then print his choice as required for his students. Assistants will soon realise the shortcomings of the libraries which are available to them. If an emphasis is to be laid on a particular subject, DYABOLA will provide the list of desiderata. Endless possible examples for application would be possible ….. Bibliographic knowledge is no longer a secret. A new transparency is brought to the classics, their activities in various fields, contemporary preferences, etc.
