 It's been a year since we introduced this Searcher's Guide as a way to highlight segments of our huge online collection. The interests of our editorial team are wide-ranging, and we deeply believe in serendipity - we encourage users to visit the sites frequently because you never know what you might find.
At the same time, we know some users have more targeted needs. This year we are investigating ways to move to a database format. Our publisher, Free Pint Limited, just completed the process of moving a subset of its archived articles to a database on its FUMSI site, and the move has made the content more accessible and more relevant.
In the meantime, our usual methods evolve: categorizations, Resource of the Week, the weekly newsletter, the Searcher's Guide, and even serendipity.
Cheers,
Gary Price
