* Visual Search delivers a graphically-rich, extremely efficient visual searching alternative, available in addition to EBSCO's popular Basic and Advanced Searching modes.

* Database Groupings by Subject can be presented in the database drop-down list, if opted by the library administrator, to offer users groupings of databases sorted by popular subjects, such as technology, business, medical science, psychology or education.
* Printing, Emailing and Saving in Standard Industry formats allows researchers interested in citing articles using specific industry formats to choose from the following: AMA, APA, Chicago/Turabian: Humanities, Chicago/Turabian: Author-Date, Modern Language Association or Vancouver/ICMJE.
* RSS enabled Alerts allow librarians and users to feed results from EBSCOhost Search and Journal Alerts into their news readers and aggregators, as well as their web sites.
* The Option to Display, Save or Email EBSCOhost Records in MARC format feature, if enabled in EBSCOadmin, gives EBSCOhost users the option to manage delivery of search results using the MARC format.
* Context-specific Help is instantly available when users click on question mark icons.
* A Personalization Activity Report will be available for Administrators interested in statistics related to Personalized Accounts, including total numbers of Search Alerts, Journal Alerts and Personalized Accounts.
* The EBSCOhost Result List Default Sorting Option gives library administrators the choice to set a relevancy default sort for All Results on the Result List, in EBSCOadmin.
* The ability to control the Display of the Suggest Subject Terms feature at the database level, in EBSCOadmin, gives library administrators increased flexibility and control over the presentation of databases that support this popular feature. More information on features

Web Citation Index
A news article in World Information Review indicated that ISI is about to release a product, Web Citation Index, that will search Open Access (OA) content, such as OA journals, pre-prints, and institutional repository content. It apparently uses the same technology as Web of Science, a tool we know well at the U of C.
Web Citation Index seems to have been announced last year (I must have missed something). Here's the February 2004 press release that announces ISI's partnership with NEC Laboratories America on the product plus a March 2004 article from Information Today.
