  19. Our Vision

  20. Design Partners Observed 20 What our engineering users care about : Fast[er] access to results Simple navigation Don’t give me zero results More types of content - standards, regulations Make interactive content more prominent Show me what I have; don’t tease me with entitlements I can’t have Let me use Knovel from anywhere Make My Knovel portable Help me find and connect to like-minded users to collaborate with BASED ON USER DATA

  21. We Listened Our focus has been redirected in the next 12 months: • faster search • integration into your knowledge repository [Sharepoint] • integration into your federated search • higher quality search results • no zero results • better organization of search results [more prominent interactive tools, materials data, tables etc] • better discoverability [search Google = get Knovel results] • mobile device access

  22. Facets Show me what I can and cannot access

  23. Replace Adobe Reader; keeping users in the Web = faster, more flexible controls
