– Topic searching mapped to specialist indexing of specialist databases, as well as titles, abstracts & keywords

– All database search results page displays de-duplicated results from variety of sources

– Order of precedence of full record present in multiple databases- WoS, CCC, ISIP, DII, BIOSIS Previews, Biological Abstracts, Zoological Records, Medline, Inspec, CAB Abstracts, FSTA, WCI. From the first Full Record view users can link to any other record in the cluster

– Citation information displays in full record-instantly view citing papers– Drop down menus now display in search page– Maintain the existing search syntax for easy transition to the new
