June, Gale plans to unveil Think, a new interface for OVRC. It will be a
portal page that features a quick overview of a topic, related multimedia,
links to “editorially reviewed” websites, and more. Content
that used to be available in tabs at the top of the page will appear in buckets
at the bottom of the page. Extra features like ReadSpeaker and
translation will still be available. Eventually, a few other databases
will change to the Think interface, too. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Viewpoints. Because of the upcoming transition to a new interface and
because many folks will be on vacation in the summer, we pushed back the
training timeline. We’ll offer two sessions in June and multiple
sessions in August and late September or early October. These are the
webinar dates so far: June 16 & 17 and August 24 & 26. The
times and the September or October dates have not been confirmed yet.
