New Round of Enhancements for WilsonWeb
New York, New York, January 26, 2006
H.W. Wilson today announced a new round of improvements to
WilsonWeb, aimed to bring users a simpler, yet more powerful
search experience. The new
WilsonWeb 2.6 reflects the insights of librarians and
information professionals on the Wilson staff and among WilsonWeb
database subscribers.
Improvements include:
-
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.
