CABI preview new interface for CAB Abstracts

CABI plan to switch over to a new platform on 1st September this year. This new platform will see some major changes in how you interact with CAB abstracts. Among the new features are

• MyCABDirect – a personalised area where users can set-up email alerts and RSS feeds based on their search results; share information, and save important searches
• Faceted searching – users can finely filter information to fit their research needs, based on CABI’s indexing terms and metadata
• The capability to view full text at the search results level
• Improved user experience, through a more intuitive interface
• Suggestions for spelling variations

If you want to preview the new platform you can go to http://www.cabdirect2.org and try it out. Currently this will only work while on campus.
