- The right sidebar will include links to Related Articles
- Search modes, limiters and expanders in Advanced Search will be displayed fully, reducing the need for scrolling
- Search History will be located directly above the search results
- Related image thumbnails, where applicable, will display next to search results- preview via mouse-over
- Set date limiters for searches with a slider scale instead of cumbersome drop-downs or typing
- Clustered search results will include more detailed categories
- Visual Search feature will be retained
More information and a Flash demo of EBSCOHost's enhancements can be found here,or by accessing the "New Features!" link while using one of these databases. From this point, a test-drive of the new interface is also available.
