Last summer, the Library introduced a new federated search product called SuperSearch, which searches up to 15 different databases simultaneously with just one click. Now, we are pleased to announce a new feature of SuperSearch: Continuous Brief Browse (CBB). With CBB, the resulting citations from multiple databases are now displayed directly on the results screen. Users can compare, print, save, and email results from several different databases at once.  Results can also be deduplicated and/or sorted by title, author or publication date.
