After 2 years of development, the new ICSD Web version is available now (July 1, 2009)
Access is open via: http://icsd.fiz-karlsruhe.de The new Web Version was developed by FIZ Karlsruhe in order to meet both the increased requirements of our ISCD user community (user friendly Interface, easy to navigate, up-to date retrieval interface and visualization, flexible export of data) and the requirements of modern software development. New Features of ICSD Web § New and extended information about ICSD including complete Help information. § Enhanced search functionality: easy to use and intuitive search interface. § Easy analysis of large and complex data sets. § Simple and powerful query management: load, modify and save queries. § Personalization/User Profiles for IP access based accounts The ICSD Web interface is divided into 6 parts: (1.) The header shows a welcome message. The Logout button allows you to leave the current session. After database searches have been performed, a Print button will appear. (2.) The Navigation allows you to jump back to the Basic Search form, to access specialized pages for performing advanced searches, and to manage your queries. (3.) The main interface is the central working place for the ICSD. Here you can enter and refine searches. (4.) The search action field allows you to run, save and clear your current query. (5.) In the search summary field preliminary numbers of results are shown. (6.) The Query History field contains your last 30 performed searches and allows you to access them quickly and conveniently. Many options are available for display and analysis of results.
