Unbeatable content
There is no better foundation for the powerful features of Dialog Intranet Toolkit than our unbeatable content collection. With Dialog Intranet Toolkit, you can build search or delivery sites that investigate virtually any topic. Mine vital information from a robust collection of millions of sources encompassing business and finance, chemicals, food and agriculture, engineering, energy, the environment, intellectual property, science and technology, medicine and pharmaceuticals, government and regulations, and much more.

The custom sites you build with Dialog Intranet Toolkit can drill down, beneath the surface of news headlines, to explore the essential information found in patents, trademarks, science and technical journals, industry and company profiles, and contract pipelines—information that serious researchers cannot afford to miss.

Please see the Database Source List for a complete list of databases and their file numbers available for search site development using our search tools.

Delivery sites can be created in conjunction with DialogWeb, Classic Dialog, or Dialog Classic on the Web. The majority of databases available on Dialog are also available for Intranet Delivery. Only those databases with archive restrictions are not available.
