[Libs-Or] Oregonian Interface Enhancements from NewsBank on December 20th

[Pam Horan]

On December 20, 2004, NewsBank will update your online newspaper
subscription with several enhancements, making it easier to locate, 
review and
use news articles. The more intuitive interface will feature:

* The ability to browse by "date" and "section," making it possible to read
the electronic newspaper content much as you would a print version.

* "Quick links" on each article page for instant searches by author, page,
section or date without starting a new search.

* The option to search within a specific newspaper section.

* The ability to view an unlimited number of search results. Previously, a
search could return a maximum of 200 results.

* New "Search History" and "Saved Articles" functionality which tracks
recent searches, lists them so they can be easily reviewed and consolidates
all selected articles so each is only a click away.
* "Search History", "Saved Searches" and "Saved Articles" tabs have been
integrated as links into the left navigation area for more intuitive
navigation.

* A new "Source Groups" option that allows you to create a customized group
of titles (i.e., "Southern California", "Upstate New York", "Eastern
Europe", "Local Newspapers", etc.)

If you have questions or comments, your Customer Service Representative can
