An Important Upgrade to ScienceDirect - Links to 2collab Service

Elsevier Upgrades ScienceDirect
by Barbara Quint Posted On April 17, 2008

Elsevier has announced that it will be launching some improvements to
its ScienceDirect service [http://www.sciencedirect.com/], which
provides access to the publisher*s STM full-text journals and ebooks.
The changes will include navigational improvements in screen layout,
four options for filtering existing search results, and access to
article comments, ratings, and social bookmarking options supplied by
Elsevier*s free 2collab service ... .

The new navigational improvements include preview tabs on the results
page and the table of contents that let searchers quickly view article
abstracts, figures and graphs, and reference citations. No longer do
searchers need to reload a page for each article that catches their
interest. When viewing a full-text article, a toolbox feature lets
searchers quickly click to key functions: Cited By, Download PDF, E-mail
Article, etc.
