  25. Elsevier Engineering Information are pleased to introduce the new release A Java/XML platform Available November 2002

  26. Elsevier Engineering Info. comments: Clearer navigation and new page designs. Database descriptions and search tips have been added to the various interfaces.

  27. Elsevier Engineering Info. comments: Quicker response time when searching. Search results begin on new page (not below search pages). Full Text availability on results page The downloading feature is being expanded and should work with any bibliographic utility that uses the RIS format.

  28. Elsevier Engineering Info. comments: Search terms will be highlighted in the abstract and detailed records. This will make it much easier for users to see why they got the results they did.

  29. Combined INSPEC and Compendex Searching • a time saving feature • will insure better results, especially in areas with most overlap (electrical and electronic engineering, computers and control, information technology & applied physics) • de-duplication of results from the first 200 hits

  30. Changes to Compendex • A major data cleanup • Look up indexes being rebuilt with better data.

  31. Changes to Interface More searchable fields: • New fields in Quick Search: Controlled vocabulary • New fields in Expert Search: Conference information (including sponsor & meeting location) + Accession numbers

  32. More Improvements to Interface • Ability to search last 4 updates. This replaces Compendex: The Last Two Weeks • Treatment types limits are being added to Quick Search. Currently treatment types can only be used in Expert Search. Users will be able to limit by the type of article, e.g. general, historical slant, etc • The ability to turn autostemming on/off is being added to Quick Search

  33. USPTO • Searchable fields have been expanded to include all the fields searchable on the USPTO site

  34. Elsevier Engineering Info. comments: Search history has been added to Quick Search. Currently only Expert Search has a search history. Users will be able to combine searches from the same databases and interfaces to form new refined searches.
