In order to have full access to the pre­view site, users will need to sign up for a 30-day account by click­ing on the free trial link on the right-hand side of the home­page.   These trial accounts will last for 30 days, after which all activ­ity dur­ing that period will be deleted when the site is reset prior to launch. Since you will be access­ing only the test­ing site, you will in no way inter­fere with your cur­rent live CogNet subscription.

Feed­back is an essen­tial com­po­nent of the suc­cess of CogNet. We hope you will use the Get­Sat­is­fac­tion feed­back tool found on the left-hand side of each page within the pre­view site.

CogNet has been opti­mized for Chrome and Fire­fox web browsers.  As you nav­i­gate the cus­tomer pre­view site, please make note of sev­eral new fea­tures. These include print­ing and shar­ing capa­bil­i­ties, rich XML-content, cita­tions, browse-by-tags, faceted search capa­bil­i­ties, and link­ing out to Google Scholar to see how con­tent is sit­u­ated in wider scholarship.

One of the most sig­nif­i­cant changes has been the con­ver­sion from PDF to XML which will allow, for the first time, actively tagged con­tent at the chap­ter level — no small under­tak­ing as you can imag­ine! To that end, not all fea­tures have been acti­vated for cus­tomer pre­view and not all con­tent has been loaded or tagged, but rest assured we are work­ing fastidiously.

Addi­tion­ally, please be sure to note the following:

While adver­tis­ing does pop up in the print fea­ture now, there will be no adver­tis­ing in CogNet when it is launched.

Key­word search is cur­rently search­ing across *all* CogNet con­tent, and so very gen­eral searches (e.g. brain) will take time to return results.  In the future, key­word search will be faster.  Also, please keep in mind that advanced search offers more options to con­strain results.

Finally, we are aware of sev­eral bugs in Dru­pal that affect some shar­ing and other fea­tures, and those are being actively resolved.

CogNet was built at the MIT Press with the assis­tance of librar­i­ans and cog­ni­tive sci­ence researchers.  Your ideas are extremely valu­able to us and we appre­ci­ate the time it takes to gen­er­ate thought­ful feedback.

Thank you very much in advance for all of your thoughts, com­ments, and ideas.
