- Is STN on the Web another "easy to use" web service?
STN on the Web was designed primarily for information professionals and advanced end-user searchers who are experienced with search commands. Although STN on the Web offers some search assistance features, it is not a simplified web service.
- How does STN on the Web differ from STN Easy?
STN on the Web offers full access to traditional STN, including structure and sequence searching via the web browser and is designed for information professionals. STN Easy is a web browser service that offers easy access to key features and databases on STN. It was designed for the infrequent searcher who has occasional or relatively simple needs for scientific and technical information.
- How does STN on the Web differ from STN Express?
STN on the Web offers full access to traditional STN, but via a web browser that supports a variety of "assistants", hyperlinks, and other new tools. STN Express is a PC-based software application.
