New Round of Enhancements for WilsonWeb CX Edition
New York, New York, June 16, 2008
H.W. Wilson today announced a new round of enhancements to
WilsonWeb. Designed to offer more versatile and more incisive
searching, these improvements reflect the insights of librarians and
information professionals both on the Wilson staff and among
WilsonWeb subscribers.
Improvements include:
-
New "My WilsonWeb" profiles. Using
their email address as their password, library users can
maintain their own sub-account within WilsonWeb, creating and
managing saved searches, search histories, email alerts, and RSS
feeds.
-
RSS feed for new search results.
Configure RSS updates via links on the Search Results or Search
History pages.
-
New "Content Discovery Keys" on Search
Results page. Convenient links launch related searches,
allow users to narrow results by author, subject, publication
year, document type, and database (for multiple-database
searches), or select previous searches from the Recent Searches
listing.
-
Select the language of WilsonWeb navigation
buttons. New dropdown menu converts the main buttons from
English (the default setting) into Spanish, French, German,
Italian, or Portuguese.
-
Change the default setting of the Database
Selection area to open or closed.
-
New "non-peer reviewed" search limiter
in periodicals databases lets you retrieve just articles from
easy-reading consumer, trade, technical, and scholarly journals,
while skipping rigorous peer reviewed articles and journals.
Select "non-peer reviewed," "peer-reviewed," or retrieve all
relevant articles.
-
More interface colors. Make the
WilsonWeb interface your own, with blue (the default), red,
green or orange themes.
-
Article records (single record view) now
include the full text of the article (if available). Article
records are now an "all-in-one" information source, with
complete bibliographic information, links to other relevant
articles, links to page images (if available), plus the full
text of the article (if available).
Specific WilsonWeb databases have also been
improved:
-
Preview images in Biography Reference
Bank, Wilson Biographies Plus Illustrated, and Current
Biography Illustrated. New thumbnails at the bottom of
profiles let you preview all available photos. Click on any to
enlarge.
-
Automatic citation formatting-a popular
feature on WilsonWeb periodicals databases-now comes to Art
Museum Image Gallery, Biography Reference Bank, Wilson
Biographies, and Current Biography databases. Create
bibliographies in just a few clicks, with auto-formatting
according to MLA and APA standards.
-
Essay and General Literature Index now
includes "Library Owns?" holdings links in records for
individual book parts (chapters). Click the link (connected
to the library's OPAC) to see where you can find the essay
collection on the bookshelves.
-
View results by component databases in
OmniFile's subject thesaurus. OmniFile, a
wide-ranging periodicals database made up of diverse Wilson
specialty databases, can be searched all-in-one or by any of the
component databases. Now searches of the OmniFile subject
thesaurus lists subjects all-in-one or by individual component
databases, for quick access to more specialized "broader and
narrower" topic links.
