Coverage begins in 1991, and content is updated monthly.

CIAO also provides a searchable "Schedule of Events" database.

All of the sections of CIAO can be searched at once.

CIAO loads quickly, and has a stationary table of contents frame on the left side of the screen which makes for easy navigation. There are no special buttons for retrieving documents; users must rely on web browser features to print, e-mail, or download their results.
