Version 2.0 is now live!

The new  SearchWiSE provides a familiar, easy to use interface that also optimizes academic research. SearchWiSE is powered by the ProQuest Serials Solution’s  product, Summon.

The new three-pane design should feel familiar to anyone who has used a major search engine lately.
