Update to In Context databases

Submitted by sadie.bruce on Tue, 03/27/2018 - 09:19

Has it been a while since you’ve taken a look at our In Context databases? If so, today is a good day to check them out because they’ve undergone some recent enhancements!

  • Opposing Viewpoints in Context [1]
  • U.S. History in Context [2]
  • World History in Context [3]

The update includes:

New homepage spotlight and banner design. This design clearly shows users how to learn more about a featured topic and where to go to browse topics, which highlights curated results on the most searched topics.

Interface translation tool. Now located in the top navigation toolbar. Users can translate the interface into 23 diverse languages to show search options and headers in their selected language.

Updated tools on the document page. Easily send content to Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive with a single click!  These features have been pulled out into the list of tools and the most used features have been moved to the top for easy access.

Enhanced Highlights and Notes. Highlights and notes sent to Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive now include hyperlinked document titles and citation information, making it easier for users to navigate back to the original content and properly cite information.

Improved access to curriculum standards. A streamlined feature allows users to easily drill down into the standards.

Topic Finder enables users to visually discover the context of their search term to uncover hidden connections.

Advanced Search Feature. Publication Search which displays the information about the publication includes editions/issues/embargo period.

Is there something you particularly like about one or more of these databases? Who would you recommend these databases to, especially after the update?
