Info

DICE Final Report powerful, comprehensive search but the way the returned results are presented requires a little more work on the part of the user (“the familiar and intuitive Binary tree structure, allows the user to access records from all the databases without having to navigate between multiple screens”, see below). The search interface is similar to those we have seen before but the user is required to select from three options relating to the general subject area the query relates to: Arts, Science or Social Science: this makes the search more efficient in excluding targets which aren’t relevant. Again, we can’t describe all the features or related services offered here but Version 2 has recently been launched with new features. The service is available to HE and FE institutions until at least until the end of July 2006. A link to the service is available from the project web site Figure 14. EDINA’s GetRef service can be accessed from the Main Menu (Athens authenticated) 46
DICE Final Report The figures and legends which follow show how search results are presented and options for saving selected items of interest. The service also allows reviewing of search histories i.e. all searches conducted within a session. Figure 15. Interface with drop down list for selection of relevant subject area of search Figure 16. Search results for author name ‘broecker’ in the Science subject area: Details on hits returned are shown by expanding the toggle boxes (plus icons). All searches and selected items are saved per session. Database targets here are NAL (US National Agricultural Library) and ZETOC (British Library, electronic table of contents) 47
