Several databases have released new interfaces, offering different ways of searching than previously. Take some time to make the best use of these new interfaces. Highlights are described below.
Micromedex now offers a "tabbed" layout (CareNotes is under Patient Education tab) and includes access to IV Index (data from Trissel's Tables on IV physical compatabilities).
Web of Science - in addition to being able to launch a Quick Search directly from the Welcome page, you may now manipulate sets of larger sizes, set up a cited reference alert and use the new Analyze Tool to mine useful information from search results. Using this feature, you can group results by author, publication year, journal subject category, institution, language, document type, or source title; and view a numerical and graphical representation of the analysis to discover trends or identify leaders in their field of research.
ProQuest (National Newspapers, Medical Library, ABI/Inform etc.) - The primary areas of enhancement are: "Smart Search" feature, which makes suggestions to users based on their input. Email enhancements, allowing multiple articles in a single message, full text in pdf or text My research summary, tracking searches and results.
