- #17: Timelines. We have an aggregate list of the search terms that people enter in our search box. search logs show many, many searches that begin with timelines of or timelines for or timelines about. While we have timelines in the form of important dates tables, we wanted to take that a step further. We have on the new site a timeline builder that will let users search for events and compile their own timeline[explain]
- #19: This is another feature were building for this site. Citations are clearly a very important component of the research done at this level. While we offer citations of our own articles, as well as a citation tutorial in our Help file citations were key enough that we should expand that functionality to let students build their own citations for whatever material they were using, then save, export, or print them.
- #20: This is my My Research page. Showing only the top section so its large enough to read, but the page will offer the students the ability to select any content type from the site. They will also be able to save the citations and timelines theyve built, as well as links to external Web sites and books One librarian mentioned that her students sometimes have only 30 minutes between class and their after-school activities, Its also a great way to save links for an ongoing project.
