Easier to Use

Natural Language Searching and Concept Mapping

Enter your search query in natural language, and Knowledge Finder will automatically map it to the underlying terms in the database. For example, if you search for "Use of Ritalin to treat ADHD", your search will be mapped automatically:

"Ritalin" will be mapped to the generic drug name "Methylphenidate";
The acronym "ADHD" will be expanded to "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder";
And synonyms for "treat" such as "therapeutics" will be retrieved.

Faster Results

Relevance Ranking
You can select to display search results in order of likely relevance (as well as chronologically). Better "hits" appear first, followed by more broadly focused articles. This means that you don't have to go through a slow iterative search process to find what you need. Knowledge Finder gets you the right answers fast.

More Current

PreMEDLINE
Knowledge Finder incorporates information drawn from MEDLINE and PreMEDLINE, updated weekly - helping you find the most recently published articles.

More Comprehensive

KnowledgeWebLinks^TM to 860+ Full Content Journals
See list of journals
Knowledge Finder includes article-level links to more than 860 full-content online journals. This means that when you have found relevant articles you can connect directly to the full articles on the Web (passwords may be required).

More Export Formats

Export to EndNote®, Reference Manager®, Papyrus®, Bookends® and ProCite®
As you browse search results you can "mark" individual records. These "marked" records can be exported seamlessly to the leading personal bibliographic reference managers. You can also "email" marked records - use this to send citations to librarians and colleagues.

Many Flexible Search Methods

Field-Specific "Limit" Searching
You can easily limit searches to individual authors, journals, languages, UI numbers and other appropriate categories. You don't have to learn any special control vocabulary, because with Knowledge Finder the limit terms are selected from on-screen menus.

Automated Searches

Knowledge Update^TM SDI Service
Knowledge Update allows you to save a search and we'll run it automatically every few weeks. New search results are sent directly to your Email box.

Multiple Search Modes

"Gentle Slope" user interface suits different levels of experience
More experienced users can take advantage of advanced searching modalities such as MeSH and Boolean searching. Less experienced searchers get high quality search results while gaining a gradual introduction to different search techniques.

Additional Full Content Options

Library Holdings and QuickDoc
In addition to providing KnowledgeWebLinks directly to full content journals, Knowledge Finder can be configured to display local library holdings. Patrons can see what journals are held by the library, and can limit searches to just that set of journals. The "export to QuickDoc" option facilitates Inter-Library Loan requests.
