ANA members - ANANurseSpace
November 20, 2007
Perhaps you might be interested in this new networking opportunity that came across the lists:ANANurseSpace is the American Nurses Association's protected online professional networking site exclusively for nurses and nursing students. It is a member driven online network with nurse facilitated communities of interest.
Community facilitators and/or bloggers are needed to build content, start the dialogue, and generally get the enthusiasm going in each of the online communities. Each community is focused around a blog, with the ability to add documents, create notices of events, post videos, links, text, and discuss everything posted. Participants chose the communities they want to belong to and get only information from those groups - please see the list of communities below.
Interested in participating as a community leader or member? Contact Camille Soleil, JD, Director, Special Projects American Nurses Association at Camille.Soleil@ana.org or (301) 628-5019

Web of Science interface
November 13, 2007
Effective last week, we have switched to the new Web of Knowledge/Web of Science interface. The interface has a number of advantages including a cleaner look-and-feel. As of January, the old interface would have disappeared so it seemed reasonable to change now. A brief overview is provided below.
1) The search syntax and underlying database structures are the same.
2) The default is now a federated search (Web of Science files & MEDLINE). In January we hope to add BIOSIS Previews to this platform which will greatly increase the value of this feature. One can easily switch to single file searching via prominent tab on the search page. The column on the right allows you to customize your access including saving searches and current awareness.
3) The search results page is reformatted as follows. The refine/analysis features now appear on the left, rather than the right. Sort options remain in the upper right. Print/email/download features are clearly laid out at the top and bottom of the results page. The brief display gives clear full-text links and a link to the citing (forward in time) articles.
4) One specific, but constant irritant has been fixed. When you mark articles on any results page, the checked articles are automatically submitted to your "marked list" folder. You no longer need to manually save to your marked list before leaving the page.
5) Search History (i.e. multiple sets) is now linked at the top of nearly every page: search page, brief results page, and individual record page.
6) The individual record page has in the right-hand column links to citing articles, cited references, related records based on overlapping references in similar bibliographies, and records for that article in other databases.
The What's New page at <http://images.newisiknowledge.com/help/WOK/Whatsnew.html> gives a few more details.
