Searching Scholarly Tables, Figures, Graphs, and Illustrations with CSA Illustrata
by Marydee Ojala

From the article:

CSA Illustrata is a new resource from CSA (www.csa.com) that provides deep indexing to the tabular and other graphic information published within scholarly articles. Running on the CSA Illumina platform, CSA Illustrata allows researchers to explicitly search for information presented in tables, charts, graphs, maps, photographs, and other figures. Users can view the full object (including all caption and label text), save marked results, and import the illustrations into presentations, lectures, or research. The first database available in the Illustrata product line is CSA Illustrata: Natural Sciences. Journals from Blackwell Publishing, CSA’s development partner, contribute the bulk of the scholarly articles, although other publishers also contributed articles.
