McGraw-Hill could improve its browse capabilities. However, the site provides long descriptions and includes publication dates in the list of results. McGraw-Hill also gives users a choice of sort options in both its basic and expanded search forms. Using the expanded search form, librarians can search within only the new titles, limit by publication range, and search for terms in the description and table of contents as well as standard fields like author and title. Oryx includes a link to new and forthcoming publications, which are arranged by month of publication.
Users can browse the online catalog by author, title, or subject.
The list of subjects includes a category of reference materials. Librarians can also search the catalog, but the search engine looks only for keywords in the author and title fields. Dates are not included in the list of results, and like Elsevier, the publication date is placed toward the end of entries. Oryx sometimes provides extensive tables of contents or lists of topics covered, excerpts, and intended audiences. Like Elsevier and McGraw-Hill, Wiley provides publication dates in its list of results.
