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.
