January 22, 2008Panther Prowler Enhancements
The software that runs Panther Prowler was upgraded on January 21. This upgrade includes significant enhancements to the user interface. First, the upgraded interface was developed to comply with leading accessibility standards. Second, the search syntax was changed to function more like leading web-based search tools such as Google. For example, users should now enter multiple word searches in quotes to retrieve exact phrases (for example, "gun control"). And third, search results now include "clusters and facets" on the right side of the screen. These provide an easy way to see the most frequently occurring topics, authors, journal titles, years of publication, and so on.
