<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We’re sorry that Diane doesn’t like the design of the platform. Bob Pearson is correct in saying that the T&F platform is built on Atypon technology, whereas Cambridge
Core is entirely bespoke and built in-house. So there is no common technology or shared design between the two platforms. In response to Steve Oberg, yes Cambridge Core is entirely created by CUP, though we did work with two or three partners on areas like
usage reporting and web analytics. Apologies if this wasn’t clear enough in my response to LibLicense-L.</span><span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Cambridge Core was developed after exhaustive user research, especially amongst academic researchers, but also librarians, authors and society publishers, so there
may have been similar requests made by researchers when T&F designed their platform. Of course, not everyone is going to agree, even within these groups, on their preferred solutions, but we have tried to please as many people as possible.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Yes Cambridge Core is ‘responsive’, or designed to work on all devices. As several have commented, this is imperative due to the proliferation of non-desktop technology
and the need to provide a good experience on handheld devices.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Thanks Leslie for your approval for our check box for “only search content I have access to”. We discussed this option at great length with a panel of librarians
who tested Cambridge Core at Charleston last year and many other librarians globally. We are looking to improve the display of what users have access to – we are considering how to show access symbols on the all issues page as well as at the article/journal
page/chapter/book levels.</span><span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Diane you also mentioned that Advanced Search does not feature. In some ways, we feel that Cambridge Core is an example of less is more in this regard. The search
function on Cambridge Core is far more powerful than the search on our previous platforms and the faceting options on the left hand side enable accurate pinpointing of content in a way that was never possible across the previous 6 platforms. So in fact the
Cambridge Core search is far smarter than the Advanced Search on the old systems. We have tried to provide a solution that is of maximum benefit to our readers and libraries globally, but of course we are always hoping to improve this if we receive feedback
and we will continue to review our search solution.</span><span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
