As of July 26th, ProQuest will roll out redesigned basic search and search results pages. These improvements will put a focus on source types to help retrieve more relevant results from across the platform.
Some of these improvements will include: 
A new horizontal source type limiter above the basic search box to help users limit their results to the content types most relevant to their research. 
Help panels to provide search guidance at the point of the most need. 
“You are searching…” statements to show which databases are being searched along with the top source types contained within those databases.

Beginning Saturday, July 14th at 4:30pm through Sunday, July 15th at 5am Pacific Time, OCLC will be performing systems maintenance which may cause intermittent interruptions and delayed response times for online catalog services. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope this interruption will create minimal disruption to our users’ research.

On July 25th, the SpringerProtocols platform will be deactivated and transitioned to Springer Nature Experiments.

Springer Nature Experiments is a database dedicated to protocols and methods. Free-to-use, it has been designed to assist researchers in finding and evaluating protocols and methods across the whole Springer Nature protocols and methods portfolio. Its algorithm tracks lab techniques and model organisms mentioned in articles to help locate the most relevant references. The number of citations and downloads are displayed showing which articles are worth further investigation.

All SpringerProtocols content is already searchable via this new research platform. Check it out here.
