Web of Knowledge Interface upgrade – 3rd February

UPDATE: The date of the upgrade has been altered to Sunday February 3rd

From early 2008, the traditional Web of Knowledge user interface you might be used to will be replaced by an upgraded version with a number of new features. This new interface is currently available from the Web of Knowledge site to provide you with time to familiarise yourself with the new layout and functionality of the WoK service – look for the “Access New Version” button at the top of the screen to try it out.

One of the most important new features is the All Databases search, which replaces CrossSearch.

The All Databases search allows you to:

  • Search across all ISI Web of Knowledge databases your institution subscribes to
  • Retrieve up to 100,000 results, automatically sorted by the journal cover publication date
  • Easily refine and analyze your search results

Help on using the new interface is available online via the Web of Knowledge website. There are also quick reference cards available for download in PDF format, some hardcopies are also available from your Subject Librarian:

Please contact your Subject Librarian for advice or if you have an queries about using the upgraded service.

With the scheduled upgrade, dual access to ISI Web of Knowledge will be discontinued, and all users and institutions will access the new version.
