1. single login allows search of Scopus, Science Direct, and the new Hub & all are now searchable in one interface
2. searching in Science Direct section allows searching of images (it searches the text and captions of images plus the 20 words preceding and following the image in the text)
3. it is possible to search the Methodology section of full text articles within the SciVerse applications
4. two new citation metrics are available (SNIP & SJR)
5. there is increased coverage of journals in the humanities & socila sciences
6. increased interoperability including options for ITS departments to implement api's
