			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There will be a new release tonight affecting most of the Vermont Online Library databases. </p>
<p>From Gale&#8217;s Press release:<br />
        &#8220;Included in this release are a number of new, key features.  Below is a list of some of the most exciting ones:<br />
<strong>* Search Alerts with RSS export:</strong> Set up instant search alerts and journal alerts, with the added ability to create RSS feeds of InfoTrac content.<br />
<strong>* Did You Mean?/Also Try:</strong> When a search fails to bring desired results, users are given alternate spellings and preferred search terms to find appropriate results.<br />
<strong>* Search Within Results:</strong> Dynamically refine search results to pinpoint specific information by adding or excluding more terms to queries.<br />
<strong>* Enhanced Limiting:</strong> After a search is completed, the left sidebar will be repurposed to provide users with the option of selecting subject terms, subdivisions, article types and publications to allow further limiting of results.<br />
<strong>* Enhanced Navigation:</strong> Based on feedback, changes have been made to improve the interface navigation, including the creation of document tools (print, email, cite, download, translate) that appear in a visible box on each document.<br />
<strong>* Enhanced Tabs:</strong> The number of results now will appear on each tab, and color variation will be added to the tabs to signify more content behind the other tabs.<br />
<strong>* Enhanced Bookmarks:</strong> Direct access to individual documents, searches and collections of documents will be made available through PowerSearch Bookmarks, which are clearly visible, easy to use, and always persistent.<br />
<strong>* Improved &#8220;How-to-Cite&#8221; Functionality:</strong> MLA and APA formats for citations will be provided, with accurate elements, correct spacing and formatting.<br />
<strong>* Publication Details:</strong> More information about each publication will be provided, including embargo periods, publisher address and contact information, and publication descriptions.&#8221; </p>

<li>You can now also listen to any National Public Radio program, as well as read transcripts, for shows produced by NPR from 1990 to present. In addition to providing a different type of news coverage, NPR content is great to use in the classroom.</li>
<li>Very soon, every Fodor&#8217;s travel guide published in 2006 and 2007 will be available, as well as hundreds of other travel guides from publishers such as Hunter&#8217;s.</li>
