Just released - some great new changes to help you get the most from Scran

11th August, 2005

As you know, we are constantly reviewing the Scran service and we have recently released another new version of the site with lots of great improvements.  Here are some of the main ones:

* Pathfinder Packs - The types of Pathfinder Pack (whether they are image collections, images with narrative or packs including teaching materials) are now indicated when you browse the Pathfinder Packs.  This is a really handy way to see, at a glance, what type of Packs are available.  www.scran.ac.uk/packs/pathfinders/

* Registering for My Stuff - You can now do this without an email address and you can change your email address in your Stuff Profile.

* Search results options - These are now in a drop-down menu so you can choose how your search results are displayed: they are automatically displayed by title (relevance) but you can change this to view them alphabetically or by contributor.  You can also change the amount of results you see per page.

* Viewing video clips - You can now choose to view these on either Windows Media Player or Apple Quicktime - simply click on the appropriate icon below the video clip.

Have a look and see what you think and, as always, if you have any comments or suggestions, we're happy to hear from you.  Simply email our Schools Education Officer on lesley.stokes@scran.ac.uk or call 0131 662 1211
