Do you use PowerSearch, a great tool that lets you search for information in 12 databases at one time? Now is a great time to check it out, because PowerSearch has a new look and lots of new features, including:
- Custom profile creation, where you can modify the home page so that the topics and publications are fed through RSS feeds directly to the page when you log in. You can also name and save any search.
- Web 2.0 sharing tools like Del.icio.us, MySpace, Reddit, Digg, Facebook, Newsvine, Twitter and others that let you share interesting articles with others.
