Product Update for EBSCOhost
August 12, 2009EBSCO Animals
improvements
INFOhio relays this abridged message from EBSCO Publishing.
Dear EBSCO Publishing Customer:
EBSCO Publishing has significantly improved the
EBSCO Animals
collection, now called Encyclopedia of Animals.
Formerly, EBSCO Animals
was a stand-alone database. It is now part of these product families:
Middle Search Plus and Primary Search and
is accessible via the EBSCOhost, Searchasaurus, or
Kids Search interface. Articles within the
Encyclopedia of Animals
can now be found more easily through improved citations with added subject
headings and an abstract. In addition, each article includes a Lexile value.
New images and maps have been included into the Related Item
section of the full text.
| Searchability and Content Improvements |
|
Source Type searching on Searchasaurus and
Kids Search:
For example, the search for the keyword tiger will
return a Result List that allows filtering by
Source Types. The Encyclopedia of Animals
articles can be accessed via the source type Animals. |
|
The
Encyclopedia of
Animals contains added subject terms and an abstract
making the content easier to find in the student’s keyword search.
|
|
Each article now has Lexiles. |
|
Articles contain a Related Item feature with
additional images and maps available through the interface Kids
Search.
|
|
With
these changes, EBSCO
Animals will no longer be available as a stand alone database
starting September 1. INFOhio's EBSCO Animals buttons and links will no longer lead to the separate product.
All references to EBSCO Animals will be removed from the INFOhio
Web site by January 2010.,
