[OPLINLIST] EBSCOhost News: Visual Search, Image Quick View

[Laura Watkins]

Please see below for an update from EBSCO....

Dear EBSCO Customer,

On 11/21/07, we announced plans to upgrade the Visual Search option on 
EBSCO/host/ and other user interfaces, at the end of this calendar year. 
We are pleased to announce that the new version of Visual Search is 
about to become available to your users. Please note that a 
comprehensive tutorial will open automatically when a user clicks on the 
Visual Search tab in EBSCO/host/, to guide them through the 
functionality of the new Visual Search screens.

In conjunction with the Visual Search release, we are introducing an 
enhancement to EBSCO/host/ Result Lists: Image Quick View. This exciting 
new feature will include the appearance of thumbnail images on Result 
Lists which, when clicked, will instantly reveal full-sized images to 
users. Open records will include links to thumbnail images, where 
applicable. Users will be able to try the new feature in EBSCO/host/ by 
clicking on the *Try It!* box beside Image Quick View on the New 
Features screen, and enabling Show Image Thumbnails under the 
Preferences link in the upper right corner of the screen. For more 
information about the new Visual Search design and the Image Quick View 
feature, please see the first two top stories on EBSCO's Support Site 
(http://support.ebsco.com).

EBSCO's Support Site is also a great place to visit whenever you want to 
learn about new features, search among thousands of FAQs, download Flash 
tutorials, Help Sheets or User Guides, or communicate with Technical 
Support at any time, using the EBSCO Support Form
