We are excited to introduce "Company Discovery Pages," a new feature in BSI designed to enhance your business research experience. This feature will provide comprehensive Company Discovery Pages for several thousand companies, consolidating various materials and artifacts into a single, intuitive view. Each page will include a Company Smart Panel which will include details such as headquarters, CEO, ticker number, employee count, and more when data is available. Additionally, researchers will see top competitors, industry reports, SWOT analyses, case studies, articles, videos, and more!
For those who previously used the Company Information portal in Classic BSI, the new Company Discovery Pages will serve as its enhanced successor, offering the same detailed company information with additional intuitive features. Please note that only the Company Smart Panel will be available in EBSCOhost.
Ability to use just filters to search without needing to enter a search term
Ability to limit to HTML Only, PDF Only, and eBooks Only. These limiters are available for EBSCOhost and EDS customers, and they can be configured for profiles in EBSCOadmin along with the other standard limiters.
Library administrators can now create custom limiters according to field codes. The most popular custom limiters from the Classic UI will be pre-programmed and just need to be turned on
The results page now lists the selected search mode under “All Filters.” The search mode can be changed on the Advanced Search under “Search Options”. It also displays any selected Search Expanders. For more convenient refinement, a link back to “Advanced Search” is now directly available in the “All Filters” panel.
In a multi-database search, each database's specific filters will be displayed in a dedicated dropdown section in the Advanced Search to allow for easy orientation
Researchers can now find a complete set of database-specific filters in single database search mode. When multiple databases are searched together, the shared filters are displayed
User experience design improvements for navigating long lists of filter values; ex. Subjects, which can sometimes have 30+ values
Sticky Filters: All applied filters can persist when modifying a search query (user choice; library sets default)
Filter panel design updates for more intuitive workflows
Ability to exclude records from catalogs and institutional repositories when applying the full text limiter (EBSCO Discovery Service only)
Researchers can further narrow their results through multiple interactions with the filter panel
