Abstract
Tables and figures imbedded in journal articles can be made searchable electronically to promote the flow of information within the scholarly community. CSA's innovative approach to such indexing will change and advance the discovery process for the geosciences. This paper will discuss why this new approach was undertaken, some of the major challenges addressed, what researchers had to say about the new capabilities, and how their opinions affected the shape of this new product.
