JSTOR subscribers have some new prototypes to try out via the JSTOR Sandbox

+ JSTOR/ARTstor Search Prototype
++ The ability to search for article content, images from articles, and ARTstor images, all at the same time.
++ The display of article image thumbnails in search results, along with the image caption.
++ ARTstor results that contain title, creator, and date information. If your institution is an ARTstor participant, you will also see ARTstor image thumbnails in your results and be able to click to view the full-sized image and complete metadata.
++ The separation of the search results into three tabs, Articles, Images from Articles, and ARTstor Images, so that you can easily focus on the kinds of results you’re interested in.

Search Prototype
Features
+ The ability to limit your search to a particular discipline(s) from Basic Search.
+ An option to limit your search to a particular language from Advanced Search.
+ Modifications to Advanced Search that make it easier to search for different terms in multiple fields. For example, a search for keywords in the article title and an author name can be quickly and easily constructed using Advanced Search

Have fun in the sandbox.
