Smart Search and Journals - First Impressions
I have over 2,800 journals. Who can have enough journals?
With that amount, it can be time consuming to sift through them to find what I am looking for. Both to refine a specific search, but also to open the article to scan it to see if it is relevant to what I am doing.
This is an interesting use case to use Smart Search. In the books section, I am finding it does save time and that the summary really helps me weed through my top hits very quickly.
There are two limitations. First, you only get the first 50. It would be nice to be able to ask for the next 50, then the next 50, etc.
Second, it does take a bit of experimentation to know how to ask the question in a way that gives you the best results.
Yet, as an early access product, I think this has real potential for mining larger libraries. I look forward to seeing this technology grow and mature. Well done Logos.

I have a more at the very bottom of my results to get the next group - you don't?

I had the same concern as Donovan but your reply made me take a second look, and I do see the 'More' when I scroll all the way to the end.

The more I use Smart Search, the more I like it. I love being able to get a summary of an article or section of text to insure that the hit is something I want to open and scan further. Cool stuff, because I know this tech is only going to better as it develops!
It is nice to see some new innovation come to the platform that helps speed up workflows and I am watching with keen interest to see what they roll out in the next number of months.
