WilsonWeb
Databases Now Link to Google and Other Popular Web Search Engines
New York, New York, November
25th, 2003
The scope of WilsonWeb
searching has expanded to include information drawn from a wide
variety of Web resources, supplementing the vast store of
information contained in the Wilson databases. WilsonWeb provides an
unparalleled information gateway—a single WilsonWeb search brings
users results from three distinct sources: the database(s) searched,
full text links to other OpenURL compliant databases to which the
library subscribes, and now Google and other popular Internet search
engines.
Article citations on any
of the WilsonWeb periodical databases connect users to WilsonLink, a
free, integrated SFX-powered link-server that provides a seamless
search of any of the library's other OpenURL compliant databases.
From WilsonLink, users can also launch an automatic Internet search
for information related to the cited article via any of 12 popular
search engines, including Google and Yahoo.
The WilsonLink OpenURL
search option is especially useful for obtaining the full text of
articles, if full text is not available on the WilsonWeb database
searched. Alternatively, the Internet search option allows the user
to further expand the result set with an abundance of other valuable
information, including images and related websites. The automatic
search engine link is particularly practical for libraries with
limited resources, enhancing the user's search experience and
guaranteeing focused, satisfying search results.
For example, a search on
the Fragonard painting, "The Progress of Love" in Wilson's Art Full Text database returns citations and full text for
several related articles. Using WilsonLink to do an automatic Google
search takes users to the Frick Museum website, where they can view
an image of the painting or take an interactive tour of the gallery
in which the painting resides.
"The ease-of-use
and power of the WilsonWeb interface makes one-stop WilsonWeb,
Internet and OpenURL searching all the more convenient. Complete
information in one session at a single workstation makes WilsonWeb a
stand-out option among database services," comments Deborah
Loeding, Wilson Vice President, Sales & Marketing.
