New Cochrane interface launched
Cochrane have just released their new search platform - Wiley
Online Library. Cochrane Library users should be aware of some
known issues with the site. They are working to rectify these over
the coming weeks: Searching from the homepage: 1. If you go into
the Advanced Search page through The Cochrane Library homepage, no
headers are generated on the search pages. Here is a direct link to
the properly framed search page if it is easier to use this:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/o/cochrane/cochrane_search_fs.html
This is expected to be fixed shortly. Search: There are 3 other
search-related issues that will be resolved in the coming weeks. #1
will be prioritized. #2 is likely to be fixed in early September
and #3 will be cleaned up at some point but is a low priority. 1.
URGENT: If the system times out and you are on the search history
page or saved search page, you will get a message saying you need
to login. The "My Profile" status bar at the top right may not
refresh and indicates you are logged in. This issue will be
resolved shortly but if you encounter this, simply hit the logout
button and then login again. This is limited to these 2 pages and
works correctly on all other pages of the site. 2. IMPORTANT
(within first month): When displaying "Saved Searches", sort order
has changed to oldest searches at the top. This will be changed
back shortly to the original sort order, sort by date with most
recent searches on the top. 3. LOW (has no impact on searches or
functionality): On the saved search pages and search history pages,
an error message appears at the bottom of the page indicating "a
selected resource" (search-web-footer) is not available. This is
because we longer display general links for Wiley at the bottom of
the page. It has no impact on your ability to run or save searches.
This message will be removed shortly. Browse: 1. Browse by Review
