The contents of the PEP Journals and books can be browsed volume by volume as if on a library stack through the "Table of Journals".

Alternatively, you can browse using the "Table of Authors":

But the PEP Archive is something much more than just the information it contains. PEP Web offers superior search and hyperlink jump capacities that mean that the best way to use it is using the superior search facilities built into it. This is a product that takes full advantage of the power of modern searching and hypertext technology and more so than is usual on the web. Using the LivePublish technology (which essentially replicates that used on the PEP CD) users can do rapid full text proximity searches which quickly establish what has been written concerning various terms, texts and ideas. A bibliography can be created and browsed at leisure. There are several million automated cross-references between articles so that now, instead of going to a bookshelf to check a reference, you can instantly jump there:

What else will become available?

PEP has a contract regularly to update with the latest Journal volumes and also aims to add over the next few years new journals and important books - all cross-referenced internally and to the existing PEP infobase. It is envisaged that subscribers to PEP Web will automatically receive access to all new material. In effect PEP WEB like the PEP CD Archive constitutes an almost complete library of all the main material published in the psychoanalytic field in English until three years before the current date. [Current material may be available on the Journals' own sites.]

How does it work?

PEP WEB is hosted in the United States on a dedicated secure server accessed by an Internet address off the PEP WEB site. So, once logged to the Internet, users open their usual internet browser and go to the PEP site. They are referred through the security gateway to the material automatically if they log on from agreed and predefined IP ranges; or by referral from a secure web page maintained at their own institution. If they are off campus limited numbers of faculty can be assigned a user identity and password to access from anywhere.

Printing

Any article or a bibliography can be printed using the print features that are part of a standard browser.

Bookmarking

Any article can be book-marked using the Favourites features of any standard browser.

Trials and Tests

One month full trials are available.
Please contact PEPWEB-SALES@p-e-p.org if you would like one.

Support and Help

PEP Web is intuitive and can be used easily. To demonstrate the potential of the special search templates PEP has developed a HELP section which includes a thirty minute tutorial - this gives a good idea of its advanced functioning and is accessed off a TAB on PEP Help.

PEP also has a telephone customer support line in the US and Europe, open for some hours every working day. Support will be given free to one librarian-administrator per institution.

What customers are saying

PEP WEB was launched in trial versions in September 2003. These are the first comments:

"…now the academic year has started, responses from faculty to the PEP Archive are coming in. All have been very favorable although quite short. Here is one of the longer comments: Even since writing I used it again yesterday, as I was putting together the bibliography of my new book (just finished yesterday!): it saved me days and days of travels to libraries for journal references.... I'm a fan."

"…I am able to log on to PEP on the web very easily. I am very pleased with your product. You have done a wonderful job. It's presentation is easy and very professional looking. The system works quite fast. I was able to search with ease and it is fairly intuitive. I spent almost an hour searching yesterday just to try it out."

PEP WEB contains all the data and most of the search power of the PEP CD. It has been reviewed in the leading peer-reviewed journal, the International Journal of Psychoanalysis:
