You may have noticed when using Computer Source or Inspec that database provider EBSCO had a new design.
It is designed to be far more user-friendly than the previous interface and from my brief experience I certainly think it is! You can watch a demo of the new interface here. Improvements include:
- A new simpler basic searching screen
- The ability to preview an article or image by mouseover
- New result list
- New detail display
- New search history capability
- Enhanced personalization features
- New organization of limiters and expanders
- New search modes including SmartText
- URLs that can be bookmarked
(Taken from EBSCO’s Support Centre FAQs).
We hope you find the improvements useful for your research.

Indexed book
I recently came across an interesting blog called Indexed which gives daily thoughts in the form of graphical diagrams. New posts are made each weekday about various general topics.
Thought it was worth sharing as something a little bit different you might wish to subscribe to.
The author of the blog, Jessica Hagy, has also published a book (pictured above).
