DEVIL DICE Final Report Dynamically Enhancing VLEs with Information from the Library, see the link at the project web site. Another RD tool (and service) being developed at Edinburgh, there are similarities with D+ both in the front and back-end design of the tool. There is a cleaner query interface, multiple search terms can be entered using the advanced search facility (to return more relevant results), there is on-line help available, and individual search results can be selected to be saved in a variety of commonlyused formats. Compared with D+, there are improvements to the search interface but only a limited range of targets are available to search from the drop down list. The service could be configured to search a much wider range than is shown here but DEVIL currently uses a more limited protocol. A journal articles database at the British Library is available to search but requires ATHENS login. Figures 5 – 12 and the legends show how to use the service. Figure 5. DEVIL resource discovery at Edinburgh University (simple search): The user enters a search term in the text box, selects a target from the drop-down list box and clicks on the search button. The selection here queries the Google search engine. 40
