SPIE Digital Library - enhancements!
There has been a significant upgrade to the
SPIE Digital Library. Abstract pages for all
SPIE Journal and Conference Proceedings articles has been enhanced
to include new research and navigation tools to aid in research. A
series of interviews with SPIE Digital Library users last fall
revealed how researchers and librarians now seek and access
relevant information in conducting their research. One of the key
messages is that a majority of users find and link to individual
articles from Internet search engines, library catalogs, CrossRef
links, and online indexes. To address the need of today's
researcher for a feature-rich, transparent interface, SPIE has
redesigned and expanded the abstract page to provide more
information in the view, along with more tools to utilize the
presented information. Significant features of the redesigned
abstract page include: :: More critical information viewable within
one screen, without scrolling :: References, including links to
referenced papers as well as citing articles, on a separate tab ::
Tools for capturing and downloading citation metadata in a variety
of formats :: Enhanced navigation aids such as breadcrumb links ::
OpenURL referrer tool :: Links to web-enabled research tools such
as bookmarking sites, Google Notebook, and zotero :: Multimedia
links, RSS, and erratum alerts.
