Searching for E-Journals is improved

by Ponsford, Bennett C last modified 2008-02-26 18:36

Improved search functionality and display of results.


We have released a new version of our E-Journals A-Z list with improved functionality.  While the Libraries' home page has not changed, results from the E-Journals search on the home page will now display in the new interface.

The new A-Z list provides the following improved functionality:

  • Results now display in the detailed view by default so that you can see what online holdings are available before clicking on the link to the fulltext.
  • A new link to journal history (continues/continued by/absorbed by/etc.) displays in the results if there are any related titles.
  • When you type words into the A-Z list search box (not the E-Journals search box on the home page), the systems suggests titles for you to choose from.
  • Greater visibility for the citation search.  During the focus groups, we learned that many people were unaware that it was possible to search by a citation.  We want to make this feature more available.
  • Better cross-browser functionality and improved accessibility.
  • Wording changes:  the "Categories" tab has been changed to "Subjects" and the "Locate" tab to "Advanced".
  • Transitional look and feel.  More in line with the new website style.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments,
