EBSCO: Release Information (EbscoHost finally on the Bandwagon)

Woo-hoo. (BTW can everyone access the page linked above? There was a little locky thing on the link but I'm not our database admin?)

New release includes:

Visual Search (by Grokker)
EBSCOhost Clustering
Database Selection From Basic or Advanced Search Screen
Grouping of Databases by Subject
Printing, Emailing and Saving in Standard Industry Formats
RSS Feeds
Date Range Limiter
Option to Display, Save or Email EBSCOhost Records in MARC Format
My EBSCOhost Personalization Folder Statistics and Reporting Function
Context-specific Help
EBSCOhost Result List Default Sorting Option
Display of the Suggest Subject Terms Feature Controlled at the Database Level
Tutorials included in EBSCOhost Online Help
Direct Linked SmartLinks

Wow, must digest this...
updated for formatting and to highlight RSS FEEDS!!
update: the locky thing means just for EBSCO customers -- presumably, if you care about this you'll be someone with IP authentication into the databases so you should be able to follow the link. BTW, "industry formats" are like MLA, ALA, Chicago - not like RIS, BibTeX, etc. -- they already do RIS. Also, looks like next week for the update.

Comments:

I can access it to the link. Thanks for the headsup. Clustering and RSS are exciting. Visualization is something that I am not sure how the end users will react. It definetly is nice. We had also asomething on this line a screen shot is at http://www.elucidon.com/Solutions.html
