for several years past there has been a continued trenchant criticism , in which the commercial motor has taken a leading part , of the obsolescent nature of our british taxicabs and , in particular , the type employed in london ; engines , chassis details generally , and bodywork have all come within the scope of the critics , who have insistently demanded a better general level of efficiency . this state of affairs is likely to be altered in the not too distant future , because one of the great champions of cheap transport , mr . w . r . morris , has set . about producing a thoroughly up - to - date and well - equipped taxicab to sell at the moderate figure of m5 .

deep web technologies is a software company that specializes in mining the deep web — the part of the internet that is not directly searchable through ordinary web search engines .

the company produces a proprietary software platform " explorit " for such searches .

it also produces the federated search engine scienceresearch.com , which provides free federated public searching of a large number of databases , and is also produced in specialized versions , biznar for business research , mednar for medical research , and customized versions for individual clients .

deep web technologies

many inaccurately use the terms deep web and dark web interchangeably . however , the dark web is only a small portion of the deep web .
the dark web actually refers to a set of accessible , albeit anonymously hosted , websites that exist within the deep web .
sometimes you will hear the term deep web used interchangeably with
dark web ,
but they aren ' t really the same thing .
) is a company that has pioneered a number of these efforts . in november 2008 , deep web technologies introduced biznar for business research and mednar for medical research . deep web tech promised it would be adding other vertical search sites ( see the newsbreak ,
search builder and alerts will receive a few tweaks , too . if you’re not a deep web technologies’ customer yet , you can experience alerts on biznar or on urltoken .
. after seeing his analytical skills and ability to adapt , we hired him on as a deep web investigator .
for organizations with speakers of multiple languages , deep web technologies offers both a localized user interface as well as multilingual translation capabilities . while they often go hand in hand , they are not always packaged together .
) . originally released in 2005 as a search engine focused on providing access to publicly searchable journal literature , urltoken now boasts a greatly expanded set of searchable collections and deep web technologies ' next - generation federated search engine .
how does someone go from being an aspiring sports writer to having the job title “data acquisition engineer” ? although it seems unconventional , this path has paid dividends for one of our experts on deep web technologies , corey hermanson .
while this seems huge , a much larger part of the web lurks below the surface web and isn ' t indexed .
here ' s the easiest way to think about the deep web : it ' s all the data behind firewalls . think user databases , business intranets , web archives , password - protected websites , etc .
while the masses of web searchers remain glued to using the search box on general search engines , savvy users and researchers who want more bang for their search buck know that vertical search portals can help them hone in on relevant sources more quickly and can tap deep web sources that general search engines don ' t reach . portals in medicine , business , government , and science have proven particularly attractive and useful . the aptly named deep web technologies (
at deep web technologies , we want our customers to feel comfortable with their explorit everywhere ! applications . we tailor your application to your organization’s style , administrative and researcher’s needs – make it the search application your organization needs to use it comfortably and use regularly .
the dark web is much smaller than the deep web , and it ' s made up of numerous types of sites . but it ' s perhaps most popular for its anonymous marketplaces that often sell illegal products like drugs or weapons .
medical organizations , hospitals and medical libraries must take advantage of new technologies that allow their researchers to find current information quickly and efficiently without spending much time learning how to do it . deep web technologies’ explorit everywhere ! medical solution brings value to your organization by allowing you to search deeper , search more sources simultaneously , and to do that more effectively , without missing critical information .
deep web technologies has built a number of showcase federated search applications that are publicly available . try one or more and have your own experience of explorit everywhere ! . to tailor explorit everywhere ! with you content sources , look and feel and specific requirements , please see our price quote page .
“we were pleased that deep web technologies was responsive to our need to integrate another vendor’s chat software into our federated search solution . we tested in a developmental environment first , saw no problems , and brought it into our live site right on schedule , ” said ken winter , associate library director , vdot research library . “the result is that if our patrons using deep web have a question , they can initiate a live chat with library staff and get answers in seconds . ”
silk road was really the first successful anonymous marketplace that thrived on the dark web .
enter deep web technologies’ next - generation federated search , explorit everywhere ! , the powerhouse behind worldwidescience . org . in the review , khue duong explored the search functionality ( including advanced search ) on worldwidescience . org , and performed four searches to test the application results . three of the tests performed well , returning relevant results :
when you ' re checking your email , shopping online , or facebooking , you are using what is referred to as the
surface web
or
visible web .
the visible web consists of websites that are indexed by normal search engines , like google or yahoo . according to one estimate , there are at least 4 billion indexed web pages .
customer stories are the lifelines of deep web technologies . we revel in hearing how an unassuming researcher shortened their workday and redirected their energy toward other tasks . or how a nursing instructor had allotted an hour for an article search and his task was complete in sixty seconds ! the story below comes from our friend anita wilcox at the university college cork library .
earlier in june , deep web technologies introduced search builder , an automatic deep web search engine creation tool . this tool will allow a user to create and save a custom search page consisting of just the sources the user wants to search . search builder makes it possible to deliver any number of individualized federated search portals within an organization . search builder allows administrators or authorized users to create as many federated search portals as needed , which represent privately branded search pages containing different default collections and search fields used for the search , as well as customized user experience . search builder will be integrated into urltoken as well as mednar and biznar .
deep web technologies’ customers see increased efficiency every day using explorit everywhere ! , so we second simon’s evaluation of how federated search improves the overall picture of modern search . our customers tell us that they find exactly what they are looking for in seconds or minutes . we are constantly evaluating our efforts to rapidly return the right results from across multiple repositories . and as data grows , so do we .
the most common software used to access the the dark web is the onion browser , referred to as tor .
over the last year , urltoken has garnered lots of attention as not only an excellent search portal for scientific information , but a multilingual search portal as well . in january 2015 , microsoft published a case study about urltoken . a few months later , deep web technologies published an article in urltoken magazine . and urltoken isn’t the only portal using our federated search . explorit everywhere ! is used for several other public search portals , such as
at deep web technologies we think that explorit everywhere ! is the simplest way for researchers to perform a single search for results across their various information sources , find relevant results and seamlessly process those results . but it’s that final part – processing results – that dwt just made simpler for our researchers through our new mylibrary feature . mylibrary has evolved over the years from citations manager , to my selections , and now to the more full - featured mylibrary .
there ' s a hidden part of the internet that is much larger than the parts of the web you use every day .
by some estimates , this part of the internet is estimated to be 400 to 500 times as large as the surface web .
join us for a no - cost webinar to experience our explorit everywhere ! medical solutions right at your desktop . this engaging and educational webinar , led by abe lederman , ceo of deep web technologies , will give attendees a firsthand demonstration of how explorit everywhere ! medical provides you comprehensive , one - stop access to your most important medical literature through a more thorough search , automatic alerts , and customized search pages . attendees will see how explorit everywhere ! medical is used at leading medical libraries .
the urltoken portal aims
to unify the world wide web ' s dispersed science to become the world ' s most comprehensive portal for science .
additionally , the portal seeks to make
long tail science ,
the very specialized science that may appear to be of limited interest , available to a larger audience through which applications may be found . hopefully , the portal is designed to serve as a catalyst for scientific discoveries and innovative solutions .
our goal is to make more science research available to more individuals than any other portal ,
says abe lederman , founder , president , and cto of deep web technologies .
all in all , this allows him to relish the freedom our team has in trying out new technologies and processes . the company size is also allows us to avoid a cookie - cutter approach to managing client data .
for a comprehensive list of science sources on the web , including search engines , digital catalogs , and gateways , see the cover article in the june issue of searcher by barry n . brown and paul piper ,
all ( almost ) on the internet : freely available science information resources on the web .
livelinks for the urls mentioned in the article are available at urltoken .
corey enjoys familiarizing himself with the most advanced technology in the industry . one process that caught his eye is the utilization deep learning algorithms to interpret big data sets . he then uses these data sets and applies them to the curated documents we harvest .
last fall , librarian roddy macleod of heriot - watt university in the u . k . posted to the library ' s blog a list of 9 recommended science search engines ( urltoken ) .
these will usually give much more focused search results than google ,
he wrote . significantly , five of the nine search engines chosen are sites built by deep web technologies . the post was not lost on lederman , who said ,
we ' re delighted - but not surprised - to see that more than half of the first - rate science search engines selected by this blog have been created by dwt . our search engines stand out because they encompass a broad range of resources that ensures user access to the best scientific , technical , and business content .
establishing these parameters are crucial for success , because inevitably , we’re going to be harvesting hundreds of thousands of web pages and each of those pages . addressing what works best for harvesting content and how we should
identified the struggle physicians have juggling insurance companies , new performance measurements and new technologies…all of which place patient care lower on the list of priorities . more and more medical organizations express concern over finding ways to efficiently address the changing healthcare landscape while staying true to their core purpose , one - on - one care .
you should be confident that when you perform a search for information , you will see everything critical to your research or to inform your decision - making . explorit everywhere ! is your deep web search to find that important information available through your subscription , premium , or internal sources and return it to you , with the most relevant results at the top of the page . we don’t just make vague promises of the perfect search . try our technology on one of our publicly available applications .
when meeting with a new client , corey first establishes guidelines . he addresses what questions the client wants answered through the semi - structured web content . then he determines what kpis ( key performance indicators ) we will use to determine the success of a project .
in the united states , most of our public websites are in english . we’re used to searching , clicking to our result and reading the web page instructions , navigation and results in english . and , if we happen to run across a page that is in a different language , most browsers will translate the page to english so we can continue our research .
is it fair to ask researchers to reference a separate web page to understand what digital content is included in their search , particularly when they are urgently trying to find something from a particular source of information ? or should we ask researchers to disregard knowing what sources they are searching and to just pay attention to the results ? neither of these seems appropriate in this day and age .
to begin to combat this resource transparency problem , libraries are creating separate web pages of source lists and descriptions for serious researchers . who is the provider ? what is the resource and what information exactly does the resource provide ? these pages also include the categories of sources searched such as ebooks , articles , multimedia collections , etc . while these lists of resources are certainly helpful to document ,

are included , which search major science search portals including science . gov , worldwidescience . org , and the e - print network ( urltoken ) . urltoken also searches scienceconferences , a portal providing access to some of the best conference proceedings , and mednar . com . each of these portals returns their best 200 search results to urltoken . these results are aggregated with the results returned by individual sources .
urltoken is divided into 15 categories , including chemistry , earth and environmental sciences , health and medicine , and physics . categories have also been created for science news and patents . users can search any number of categories , searching all collections within the categories selected , or choose specific collections within a category to narrow their search . urltoken ' s categories are managed by volunteer moderators who help the urltoken team select the best , most authoritative collections to include in each category . the company says it is seeking moderators for several categories .
we hope that urltoken will help to accelerate scientific discovery around the world ,
commented lederman .
this portal promotes the cross - fertilization of ideas and theories among researchers in different fields through the simultaneous search of hundreds of important collections that a researcher might not otherwise find .
lederman says ,
to the best of our knowledge , no other federated search application simultaneously searches 400 sources .
but he stressed that this is still in an early stage of what the company would like to achieve . it is trying to get to 1 , 000 sources within 1 year and eventually to 10 , 000 sources . to make the federated search application more scalable , lederman says it is deploying urltoken at an amazon cloud computing data center .
i asked lederman about comparing urltoken to elsevier ' s scirus , its well - regarded science search engine . scirus claims to search more than 485 million science - specific webpages ( for details of what is covered see urltoken ) . lederman says the approaches are different . scirus identifies , crawls , and indexes its content while scienceresearch runs all searches in real time , searching each collection as if the search had been entered on each site . savvy searchers will probably choose to use both tools .
the company also announced the availability of opensearch browser plug - ins for one - click searching of the major scientific information portals , including scitopia . org , science . gov , worldwidescience . org , mednar . com , scienceresearch . com , and scirus . com . users can easily add any of these portals to their browser ' s search engine box by going to urltoken and clicking on a portal to automatically add it to their search box .
lederman will be featuring urltoken in his contributed paper at the special libraries association ( sla ) conference in washington , d . c . , this week . his talk is scheduled for monday , june 15 , 2009 , from 3 : 30 p . m . to 5 : 30 p . m . , in the convention center , room 141 . his paper , titled
science research : journey to ten thousand sources ,
is available on the sla website ( urltoken ) .

born and raised in the minnesota , corey has always called the upper midwest his home . after graduating high school , corey attended augustana ( college ) university majoring in journalism and finance .
after interning for his local paper in brainerd , corey quickly realized that the sports writing work schedule of 3 : 00 pm – midnight wasn’t exactly ideal for him . however , a major aspect of journalism stuck with him–curiosity . and our processes at brightplanet definitely piqued his curiosity .
terminology were a bit intimidating for corey at first . despite this anxiety , he buckled down and took will’s advocacy of self - education seriously . so much so , that his job responsibilities continue to expand to this day .
after starting out in one of our entry - level positions , corey now dabbles in a variety of data processes . if you ever apply for
, he is the one who will customize and guide you through the process . he also is responsible for the data visualizations that come along with these processes .
for our present projects , corey creates the logic behind tagging new entities and properties within the text . if a client has a list of keywords that they want to be notified , he helps them create different lists and manages tagging them .
despite this , corey found mastery in our applications through mentorship from who he calls our “absolute genius developers . ” as he began learning new data visualization techniques , writing scripts , learning programming languages , querying sql , and manipulating our data base , corey diligently worked under the guidance of our senior
a recent project that corey has been a key - component in is our work with an agency in canada . ultimately , the project revolves around identifying companies that aren’t properly registering with the board or aren’t following the set guidelines .
this experience was rewarding in that it demonstrated to corey the advantages brightplanet has with wide - open scale projects .
two of the greatest values brightplanet holds as a company are curiosity and the constant pursuit of knowledge . we are fortunate enough to have someone who embodies those strengths like corey . if you’re interested in our process or how our team can help you ,
. we’ll work together with you to find the right , custom data solution for you and your business .

urltoken
users are often surprised to learn that the engine behind urltoken is a federated search engine , bursting the myth that federated search is an antiquated , dusty bit of technology that doesn’t aggregate source results and is dreadfully slow . here’s the first sentence of the review :
yields 66 papers and 49 data sources . regarding papers ( document type : articles , reports , etc . ) , the first 40 displayed results seem to be to the point ; the rest probably has some mentioning of the search term in its document . the first twenty data results has some mentioning of isle royale national park in the title . the rest , such as the dna sequences from the dna data bank of japan , shows that the sample originates from isle royale .
note that adding an additional layer of parentheses in the search of ( “isle royale national park” and ( wolf or wolves ) ) also yields many misleading results in all three categories : papers , multimedia and data .
this is hardly surprising . on public search portals like worldwidescience . org , many sources do not support title search well . trying the above search as a full - record search brought back many good results , including the top - ranked results containing all of the search terms in the title .
we would also like to point out that the additional search results should be displayed when the search completes as these additional results may contain some of the most relevant results available . also displaying the additional results should significantly reduce the variability in the results returned by running the same search multiple times .
overall urltoken is another one - stop - shopping platform that one should consider when searching for publications , data , and media files from governmental and international scientific domains .
we’re proud of urltoken and proud to support the doe office of scientific and technical information ( osti ) in bringing this free , publicly available , multilingual search portal to science and technology researchers around the world .
indexed discovery services are a lot like google : you can search simply and get results quickly , but the sources you are searching tend to be mysterious . do you know if you are searching specialized sources or generic sources ? authoritative or with an agenda ? when a researcher pushes the search button , they get whatever results are deemed relevant from whatever sources are included , and they can’t limit their search to only the sources that matter to them .
for some researchers , knowing the sources behind the search really makes no difference to them at all . to these researchers , often undergraduates , it’s the results that count . most results nowadays do show the source , publication or journal that result is from . this makes it somewhat easier to eyeball a page of results , disregard those from irrelevant sources , or select results as appropriate if they are from an authoritative source . but that research methodology seems inefficient to say the least .
serious researchers , on the other hand , want to know what they are searching . if they know that their information will most likely be in three or four specific resources out of the 20 or 30 their organization subscribes to , then why should they wade through a massive results list or spend one iota of extra time filtering out the extra sources to view their nuggets of information ? ( quick answer , they shouldn’t . )
most of us know the benefits of a single search of all resources . one search improves the efficiency of searching disparate sources , makes comparing and contrasting results faster , and provides an opportunity to save , export or email selected results . however , explorit everywhere ! goes one step further by lending transparency of sources to researchers so they can search even faster . one of our customers mentioned that they moved from a well known discovery service because they were frustrated with all of the news results that were returned . it didn’t help that their researchers couldn’t select specific sources to search , particularly when their searches always seemed to bring back less than relevant results .
explorit everywhere ! helps to narrow a search up front with not only the standard advanced search fields , but a list of sources to pick and choose from . a researcher looking to search in four different sources doesn’t want to run a search against 25 sources . they can narrow the playing field to hone in on the needle in the haystack faster . and from the results page , they can limit to each individual source to view only those results , in the order that the source ranked them . a serious researcher’s dream ? that’s what we’ve heard .
not all researcher’s care about drilling down into individual sources like this . but in explorit everywhere ! the option is there to search the broad or narrow path . we even filter out the rocks .
spend between five and 25 minutes searching every time they want to find a document , while only one in five searches is correct the first time . the search for corporate information is eating into workplace productivity . only 20 per cent of respondents reported first time successful searches . other key findings from the survey include that it takes workers up to eight searches to find the right document and information , according to 80 per cent of respondents . ”
search , simon comments , hasn’t really improved over the last 20 years . companies such as microsoft and autonomy , while assuming the mantle of usable search through the acquisition of search veterans like verity and fast , actually focused their efforts on consultancy rather than on improving results retrieval .
the introduction of big data , however , has offered a twist to the information retieval conundrum . piles of data , lots of repositories , different security levels and multiple devices all funnel down to researchers who must adapt their search to the search interface of the individual database or repository , meaning they are often searching databases one by one by one .
we call this serial searching , and it is hardly efficient . add to this that not all researchers know where to look , know the search syntax of the databases they are searching , or have time to search all of their databases .
luckily , federated search have arrived on scene , assessed the situation and now offer alternatives to serial searching .
“ with the advent of federated search , the ability to search across multiple repositories has improved . moreover , with federated de - duplicated results , users do not receive thousands of irrelevant documents or emails . users can simultaneously search across applications . it is best to take a non - repository processing approach and keep the existing data silos separate . a large repository can be kludgy with inherent security risks and to combine multiple silos may create problems in reconciling different processing power and security levels . ”
federated search is still moving search along with it’s adaptable infrastructure . it’s like it was made for modern , dynamic , fast - growing data streams .
i met a friend of mine in the library last week who i haven’t seen for ages ! in the course of catching up on gossip she told me that she was studying for a health & safety course in ucc and had been looking for a case report relevant to her group project . she had gone through all the printed law reports and had searched all the major law databases individually , but couldn’t find the case ! so i gave her a one minute quick tour of explorit everywhere ! ( we call it searcher here ) . she didn’t know the name of the case or when it was heard / reported . i showed her how to do an advanced search limiting only to law specific databases and using keywords , and then limiting to topics on the results screen . i was in a hurry , so i left . within a minute i got a text from her saying she found the case ! now , that’s what i call a miracle ! a whole day’s search was resolved within minutes by searching through explorit everywhere ! .
our customers are often surprised that they can limit to specific sources or categories of sources to know exactly what they are searching . researchers have control over their searches , rather than searching “everything” and wading through ambiguously ranked results , weighted to a publisher’s content . explorit everywhere ! , through a transparent interface and search of information puts our researchers into the driver’s seat . it’s a powerful tool , for power - researchers .
library – a place to store your digital results , reference and organize your data , or share information with others . it’s a place to build your research world .
whether collaborative or solitary , your research can consume big chunks of time out of a day . if you’re moving fast , you may browse dozens of results rapidly and set some aside to explore further . those results might hold some interest for you on a topic separate from what you are currently researching and you want explore them at a later date . they might be relevant , but need additional follow up . or maybe your workday has ended , and you’ll resume researching again tomorrow . whatever the reason , mylibrary allows you to put your research on hold without missing a beat .
your results can be filed away similar to organizing folders in a filing cabinet . once you’ve selected your results , mylibrary lets you tag and categorize those results in a system that makes sense to you . reference those saved results whenever you want – they are there until you delete them . just log in to your explorit everywhere ! application and click mylibrary . when you are ready , you can print , email or export any or all of those results from any folder , at any time .
oh , and don’t think our ambitious engineers could resist tweaking a few other things while they were fiddling with mylibrary in explorit everywhere ! . now , once you log in , you can save results preferences and language preferences in localized applications . have an idea to make mylibrary even better ? let us know !
this on - demand approach works for random , public websites researchers encounter , but not for steadfast explorit everywhere ! users who regularly use explorit everywhere ! as their main search application to retrieve information from diverse sources . researchers starting from explorit everywhere ! should begin from a
the tools and the sources are exactly what they need to find results quickly and efficiently .
, including navigational text , help text , menus and application tool and tooltips . localization does not translate results . the localized language or languages are determined when an application is created . if there are multiple languages to choose from , a user can determine what they want to be their default localized interface language after they have logged in to an application .
. for example , english language sources of information will return english to the explorit everywhere ! application , regardless of a user’s localized interface language . the multilingual feature will translate results from other languages into a selected language .
you can see why these two features may accompany each other in many applications ; together , they provide a seamless search experience . however , user interface localization provides a level of user comfort to multilingual researchers regardless of what language the results return in . navigating the search application , entering queries and browsing text is much easier and faster when performed in native languages .
explorit everywhere ! supports seven major languages at this point : dutch , english , french , german , italian , portuguese and spanish . 2016
for explorit everywhere ! applications by introducing support of arabic right to left text .
a localized user interface creates a fluid research path , bypassing language barriers that may obstruct an intuitive search . to see an example of localization and multilingual translation , please visit urltoken .
when we’re young and naive , we think that google knows everything , from climate change to competitor data , from media impressions to military intelligence . if it’s not in google , then we won’t find it anywhere . thanks , and have a nice day .
this unfortunate misconception is the plight many libraries face today : how do you reclaim your library from the overpowering presence of google ? this question isn’t just a philosophical question . authoritative sources of information that libraries subscribe to ( yes , actually spend money on ) are searched by uniformed researchers 16 % of the time . this is a paltry number compared to 94 % of researchers who will begin their search ( and often complete their search ) on google or another generic search engine when looking for authoritative information .
brainwashing powers aside , google has captured researchers with speedy results that seem to be the “right” results every time . and , to give credit where credit is due , google is an amazing , ever evolving search engine that is the perfect search for everyday queries . it also is an excellent place to start broad research that doesn’t need to be supported by vetted information .
libraries are central to a researcher’s quests for knowledge . they should be a font of information , housing books , magazines and catalogs , and directing researchers to the external resources to fuel and deliver on these information requests . maturing and expert researchers who realize that google falls short of their information needs shouldn’t be limited by a library that isn’t vehemently countering the google myth . a self - aware library will be asking these questions :
google has made the search and retrieval process easy . good search engines follow that pattern too – simple and elegant , yet robust .
if you’re a librarian facing google encroachment in your libary , consider resurrecting yourself to a position of authority . find a way to go the distance for your researchers .
what makes a search app easy to use ? lots of things , such as intuitive navigation , a sleek interface , tooltips , and…personalization . sometimes spending the extra time making an app “yours” is exactly what it takes to make the app more “usable . ”
for example , the first thing i do when i find a new start page or website that i’ll be using robustly every day is to personalize it . i add in the widgets that i know will help me out on my quest for efficiency . i change the colors to reflect my mood . i alter the text to cue me to next actions . when i tailor apps to my tastes , i inevitable use them more because they are more comfortable to use .
we have many customers who spend the time to tailor their applications to their researcher’s preferences or organization’s style .
our customer , the virginia department of transportation ( vdot ) , wanted to install a chat widget into their application that appears on the right side of the page and connects users with a librarian . it was a simple piece of javascript to install on the back - end , but on the front end allows users to get immediate answers from library staff , is connected to a ticketing system for issue tracking and personalizes the application so that their users can connect quickly and the librarians can monitor questions .
i had the opportunity to try it out . within seconds , a librarian was online chatting with me . when done , i received a transcript of our conversation and was pleasantly surprised at the “human” element of the search page . vdot had personalized their explorit everywhere ! application in a way that created comfort , provided excellent service and immediately connected the user to the library .
our customer successes are our successes . whether it’s adding google analytics to track users , a custom thesaurus , plugging in different widgets for document delivery or a chat widget , we’ll help you to tailor your application so that your users can best take advantage of explorit everywhere ! to find information quickly .
one little peek can’t hurt , can it ? well , although we’re bursting with excitement about our new features , we don’t want to spoil the surprise – here are just a few enhancements you’ll see in explorit everywhere ! in 2016 .
part of our 2016 enhancements will focus on explorit everywhere ! multilingual ( see urltoken for an example of explorit everywhere ! multilingual ) . we’ll also be expanding user interface localization so that all text on the page automatically appears in the user’s selected language for a seamless search experience . this will include the arabic language with full support of right to left display .
the explorit everywhere ! visualization tools will have some new additions as well . right now , we have the ever popular text and visual clusters in addition to topics and filters on metadata , authors , dates and formats . we’ll be adding faceted navigation to the mix , allowing you and your researchers to drill down even further into your results set . and , get ready for some new visual tools to aid the researcher .
last , the mylibrary feature ( save , export or email results ) will also allow you to save searches . stay tuned for updates on this throughout the coming year .
identified the top four information sources used by physicians : professional journals , general search engines ( like google ) , colleagues and online free services . throw in clinical trials , ebooks , systematic reviews and drug resources and the amount of information available to medical staff can be overwhelming . with the number of activities on a physician’s daily punch list , research may mean going to the easiest , but not the most authoritative source to find information quickly ( like google ) , or delegating the task .
