Jeff Dialog Delivers Enhanced Functionality to @Site Customers With Launch of Dialog@Site Version 3.0 LONDON and CARY, N.C., June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dialog Corporation plc (Nasdaq: DIAL; LSE), a leading provider of innovative information, knowledge management, technology and eCommerce solutions to the corporate market, today launched Dialog@Site Version 3.0 at the Special Libraries Association Conference in Minneapolis. The software now features improved functionality to support intranet administrators and cross-referencing capabilities to other journals and sources in an organization's library. Dialog@Site is an intranet-based service that offers powerful searching capabilities and enterprise-wide access to the DialogOnDisc CD-ROM collection from a centrally controlled resource. Dialog@Site 3.0 allows users to reference citations and abstracts found in the Dialog OnDisc collection and directs the user to full-text resources within an organization's own library. For example, if a user retrieves an abstract, Dialog@Site will notify the user that the full-text article is available from the library. In addition, the new version supports simultaneous searching across multiple OnDisc databases. For an intranet administrator or information professional supervising use of the service, additional budgetary and control features have also been added. The system administrator is now able to specify which databases are available to certain individuals or groups of end-users, by IP address. Usage statistics detail which OnDisc databases are being used when, by whom and how much that usage has cost, thus enabling inter-departmental charging. ''The enhancements to the functionality and performance of the Dialog@Site software further improve the service we offer to our customers. Information professionals increasingly need solutions which are customizable and which can be managed easily and effectively. This is what we have aimed to deliver with this new version of Dialog@Site,'' said Sjoerd Vogt, General Manager, Dialog OnDisc and @Site, The Dialog Corporation.
