This engineering database goes back to 1884, and it keeps going and going even though Google and Google Scholar has become the first place where students, faculty and engineering professionals are turning first for information. How we keep going? With our content we don't just provide information, that's passe in our business (abstract and indexing), but we provide insights and intelligence on scientific content that one can't get from any other source. And let's not forget that some of these engineers who work on itunes probably consulted our content at one point in their careers to learn something or to find a solution to their problems.

btw nothing wrong with iTunes, but so far I like listening last.fm and discovering (similar to Compendex) artists like Las Ketchup
