The UT System subscribes to Web of Science data back to 1975. The printed SCI is still retained in the Life Science Library for earlier years (1961-96) of coverage.
Sample Question: You want to find papers that have cited a paper written by Robert B. Woodward et al. that appeared in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, vol.73, 1951, pp.2403-04.

Scan the list carefully for typos and variant postings. You'll need to note the page numbers and volume number of the entry to verify it's the exact paper you're looking for. "Cited Work" titles are always abbreviated, sometimes not very consistently. Page numbers and volume numbers can be inaccurate or missing altogether. The number to the left of the entry is the total number of articles in the full database that cited that particular entry. In this example, the entry with page number "2043" is probably a typo, so that should be selected as well as the correct entry below it.
A list of Citing Papers is retrieved. This list can be re-sorted and analyzed in various ways. The
button in each entry will take you to a menu of options for finding that document in UT's electronic or print collections.
The number of records actually retrieved is sometimes less than the number shown in the index listing. This is because the Index includes all citations in the entire database back, whereas the retrievable ones are only those since 1975, UT's starting year of coverage. In this example, of the 58 articles indicated in the index display, only 25 citing articles were published after 1975, and only these are viewable under UT's WOS subscription.
