Schematic notation for decoupling capacitor

circuit schematic

I'm wondering where this capacitor should be placed. Is it a decoupling capacitor? There are two supply rails on this particular op-amp, so I'm assuming that this indicates I need to put one between each rail and ground. Any insight would be appreciated!

Edit: the data sheet can be found here http://www.intersil.com/content/dam/Intersil/documents/ca31/ca3130.pdf

Omitting the supply rails and decoupling capacitors is a common shorthand in circuit diagrams. It's admissible, when supply rails are not important for the discussion.

0.001 μF in the original post is not a decoupling capacitor. It's a compensation capacitor between pins 1 and 8 of the CA3130 OpAmp.
