- There are Google previews available when you see this icon next to the more detailed record on the catalogue.
- You can add your own Reviews to an item on the catalogue.
- Extend a Topic Search to Google Scholar and E-Prints the Trust’s Staff Publication Open Access Database, by clicking on ‘More Searches’ on the right hand side of the title details screen.
