New IEEE Xplore Digital Library video

Demo Video Now Available  for the New IEEE Xplore Digital Library!

You're invited to view a three-minute video demonstration of the new IEEE Xplore digital library that is coming in the first quarter of 2010. 

See the video on the new IEEE Xplore information Web site: www.ieee.org/newieeexplore.  

The new IEEE Xplore delivers what subscribers have been asking for--a faster search engine, a more efficient interface, new ways to search and save searches and more. This video is a great way to show your engineers, faculty, and students all the main new features before launch, so be sure to forward it to all your colleagues who use IEEE Xplore.

See these new features on the video:

• New easy-to-navigate design
• Fast searching with post-search refinements via multiple facets
• Saved searches with email alerts
• New type-ahead search box feature that suggests terms and titles
• Quick access to popular and new publication content
