New Features and New Advanced Search Screen Limiters

Expanded Title Selection
Years of archival titles (entries from previous editions of your Core Collection) are now searchable along with the main titles. Archival titles are noted as such, distinguished from Short List, Core Collection, and Supplementary titles. You'll no longer be shown a separate archive database on the database selection screen.

Search by Level of Selectivity
Take maximum advantage of the editorial expertise that goes into compiling the Wilson Standard Catalogs, by narrowing your search to any of four levels of recommendation: Short List (Most Highly Recommended titles); Core Collection; Supplementary titles; or Archival materials (older titles).

"What's New" Query
Find what's been added to the database in the last week, month, year, etc., or since the last time you looked. You can also configure the database to email daily, weekly, or monthly alerts, citing new materials relevant to your search topic.

Dewey Decimal Classification Ranging
Search by a range of Dewey Decimal Classification numbers, as well as by specific numbers.

Expanded reading levels
Search any grade level or range of grade levels from an easy drop down box.

Fiction, Nonfiction, and Biography Limiters - Limit any search to just Fiction, Nonfiction, or Biography.
