It's easy to be overwhelmed by the amount of information offered by today's electronic databases. And it's just as easy to be overwhelmed figuring out how to get to that information. Thanks to the introduction of PowerSearch Plus, librarians and researchers won't be overwhelmed anymore! PowerSearch Plus provides easy access to virtually your entire electronic database collection and the open Web from one starting point.
Through a partnership with Groxis - an industry leader in search technology - PowerSearch Plus answers the challenge of getting researchers to go beyond the 'top ten' habit instilled by Internet searches. Now researchers can explore the depth and quality information present in your library's offerings - fast. PowerSearch Plus provides:
* Single search across disparate content sources in an intuitive interface
* Optional visual representation of information, enabling deep discovery
* Topically organized results, revealing connections amongst disparate content
* Information 'workplace,' driving discovery and innovation
PowerSearch Plus radically changes library searches by providing a "Google-like" search experience that the majority of library patrons prefer. PowerSearch Plus searches the Gale online resources the library subscribes to, plus the libraries non-Gale online resource content from such publishers as EBSCO, Grolier and ProQuest; plus the library OPAC; plus a variety of public Web sources such as Google and Yahoo! the library may elect to include in the search query results.
The following non-Gale databases are just a sample of the ones that can be searched by the PowerSearch Plus platform:
* ABC Clio
* EBSCO
* Facts on File
* Grolier
* H.W. Wilson
* ProQuest
* Many more
Come to the demonstration on Tuesday, January 29th and see for yourself!
Light snacks and coffee, provided by Gale, will be served at each session.
Please forward to colleagues who might have an interest in the subject matter.
See you there!
