JISC MediaHub: new features

JISC MediaHub is being developed continuously and, since the previous, September edition of Newsline, we have added more new features to the interface.

Combine and re-run previous searches in My MediaHub
‘Show all’ similar and recently viewed items
Searches now match any one or more words
Help guides in the service, including an interactive tour
Brief record display improved, including additional icons
Full records enhanced, including all metadata from the news film records held in NewsFilm Online and a small map display. Frame-grabs include timings (so you can see where in the video the frame is). The frames used for segment navigation (to the right of the video player) and the frame-grabs (one of the tabs in the lower part of the page) are now consistently styled for ease of use
Explore by Learning Materials includes reviews, but is extensible to include case studies, trails and other forms of material in future
Deleting cookies option when logging out

More detail on each feature is available on the blog where an updated Roadmap also exists summarising all features added to date and a list of forthcoming ones.

In addition to further new functionality, we are confident that new collections will complement the evolving service in 2012.

Access to JISC MediaHub is open for any visitor to the site to search and browse. Download, viewing and playback of the content is for users from subscribing institutions only.

Comments on these new features or any other aspect of JISC MediaHub can be made via the Feedback link within the interface or sent directly to edina@ed.ac.uk
