IEEE Xplore Mobile Comes Out of Beta, New Features Added

IEEE announced the launch of IEEE Xplore Mobile, which incorporates enhancements based on user feedback collected from a beta test period that began in June 2009. IEEE Xplore Mobile gives users the ability to conveniently perform searches of over two million technical documents with any mobile device connected to the Internet. To try IEEE Xplore Mobile, go to http://m.ieeexplore.ieee.org.

The new IEEE Xplore Mobile features represent upgrades from the initial beta version. Users can now conduct a basic search from the IEEE Xplore Mobile home page, then refine it by searching within the results or by using subject filters. A predictive type-ahead feature, that suggests searches as you type, is available for mobile devices that are JavaScript-enabled. All results normally found on the classic IEEE Xplore for abstracts and citations are displayed ten at a time by relevancy. Users can then decide to read or e-mail the abstracts to a remote computer.
