Each record includes an abstract, available contact information, and one or more hyperlinks. In addition to the basic keyword and phrase search, author (POC) data can be searched separately, as can date information. The advanced search is especially useful to quickly obtain relevant information for a certain information topic, technology, contaminant, or interest area. The newly added "search shortcuts" feature will provide speedy access to hot button topics (LNAPL, DNAPL, vapor intrusion) and frequently requested information "subsets" such as vendor information and events.
