Environment Complete

today i looked at the Environment Complete database. It is an Ebsco product so the screen is very clean and easy to understand at first glance. Users can choose to search using boolean or other search methods like "find all my search terms". There is also a limit option where users can choose to limit their searches by references held by swosu or full text results and others. I did a search on the Lynx. 36 results were returned which is pretty good, not too overwhelming. then i limited my search even more by cutting the publication date down to things published within the last ten years. I could have limited more by publication type, geography, or theasaurus terms. Once a user finds an article that intrests them they can open it and navigate their way through it using the "inside this work" bar to the left. By clicking the headings users can go right to the paragraph that may be useful to them. Users can print save and share articles right from the article page. there is also a folder and export system. This database is really easy to use but its not really too exciting, just useful :)
