New Round of Enhancements for WilsonWeb!
Reflecting the insights of librarians on the Wilson
staff and among WilsonWeb subscribers, WilsonWeb 2.6 presents a new round
of enhancements, bringing users a simpler, yet more powerful search
experience.
-
More versatile searching of the journal directory.
The journal directory now becomes a search option in its own
right-allowing users to search the lists of periodicals covered by the
WilsonWeb databases more precisely, then directly launch searches for
articles in specific periodicals (or specific issues).
-
Clickable images in results lists on biography
databases. Thumbnail photos let users know if images are available,
and help them identify the subject of their search.
-
More navigable results on periodicals databases.
Clicking on the title of a record in "brief display" brings you not just
to the full record, but to that full record among a list of full
records, so you can continue to browse records in "full" mode.
-
New options for emailing results. Users can
include a name to identify themselves plus a helpful note to the
recipient.
-
Color page images. WilsonWeb full text
periodicals databases now include color page images, making graphical
information easier to read and interpret.
A new, more attractive Basic Search screen. A colorful,
simple-to-use design masks the power of thorough All-Smart WilsonWeb
searching.
The WilsonWeb interface and WilsonWeb services are
constantly improving. Also recently introduced is the new SDI (Selective
Dissemination of Information) Alert System, which sends researchers new
information in daily, weekly, or monthly alerts, as the WilsonWeb
databases are updated.
