Enhancements to Dialog Monitor, Dialog's Intranet Delivery Tool

What is Dialog Monitor?

Dialog Monitor is software that can be used to deliver Dialog search and Alert output, from most Dialog databases to designated locations on an organization's intranet. (See Figure 1)

How does it work?

Once the application has been installed by a Web administrator, the information professional can use the Categories screen to create folders that will help organize the Dialog Alerts and prints that are delivered to the intranet site. When the site is published, the information professional can populate it with results by creating search strategies and using special PRINT TITLE, PRINT and ARCHIVE commands. Dialog Alerts will now flow to the appropriate locations on the organization's intranet.

Dialog Monitor Alerts may be set up from the following products:

• Dialog
• DialogClassic on the Web
• DialogWeb (Command and Guided Search)

Dialog Monitor Customizable

Besides having the power to deliver Dialog results to an intranet, Dialog Monitor is fully customizable to fit into the "look" of the organization's Intranet. In cases where users do not feel comfortable with HTML or choose not to commit Web resources to developing a customized Monitor site, we have staff dedicated to creating custom sites according to a user's specifications.

What's New?

Dialog Monitor 1.3 offers several enhancements to version 1.2:

• Titles now in a convenient checklist format enabling users to view more than one record at a time.
  
  
• Improved "look and feel" so that even without customization the product looks great.
  
  
• Improved links to information about other Dialog products.
  
  
• Improved e-mail notification of new records posted to the intranet.
