Cairn.info launches a new and improved version of its platform. Here is a preview of some of the changes we’ve made:

Search engine

We’ve also redesigned the facets, the sorting options and the advanced search form based on librarians’ feedback:

Sort by relevance, date of publication and online publication date is possible.

The options to filter search results have been simplified.

A carousel will display new publications as well as recently added articles and ebooks:

The carousel for newly released publications will display the 20 most recently added titles. The most consulted titles will appear on subject-specific pages.

New subject-specific pages will allow for a smooth browsing experience and encourage the discovery of new publications:

Enhanced personal features

We’ve updated existing citation management tools and added new features to the personal account functionality (title lists, search alerts, etc.):

The link “Citer cet article” allows the user to copy/paste the link in a standard format, or to export it to a citation manager.

The bibliography can be sent by email or exported to a citation manager.

Users can now notify their librarians if they are interested in a particular publication:
