Enhancements to TEL article and K-12 databases

Image

On July 26th, many of TEL’s databases are getting an updated look and name. Some of the databases being upgraded include Research in Context, Student Resources in Context, Opposing Viewpoints in Context, Academic OneFile, General OneFile, Infotrac NewsStand and any Gale database ending in Collection (Agriculture Collection to World History Collection). These changes are to improve user experience and accessibility as users go from database to database. Some databases are scheduled to be enhanced over the next year and more information will be found here as those databases are scheduled for improvements.

We are excited for the enhancements to improve:

Visual Accessibility

  • New page colors to improve visual accessibility
  • Text size options are included on each page
  • Header size is reduced to allow for more content on the screen view and to improve the mobile view

Research Tools

  • Tool bars will begin appearing on every page for greater ease of use and to allow for expanded article content in the first screen on mobile devices
  • Explorer will be more visible on the right side of the screen, making it easier for users to find more resources on similar topics
  • Expanded visibility for Author, Content and Source information for each article
  • Topic Finder now available on all databases

 

All databases will have new icons but only 43 of the 52 have a new name.
