These databases allow the student to increase the font size of the text.
The following databases have AT tools that are useful for students who have visual impairments, use an e-reader for educational purposes, or need additional assistance during the research process.
How SmartText Searching Works:
1. SmartText Search takes the chunk of text entered into the search box and first runs it through a sophisticated summarizer, pulling out all the main words/phrases in the chunk of text.
2. SmartText Search takes all of those main words/phrases and queries them against the database, getting back a sorted list of the words/phrase that are most relevant as compared to that database's content.
3. Based on this result, a relevancy weight gets assigned to each word/phrase.
4. A search string is then built OR'ing the terms and their weights together, and a search is conducted against the database.
5. A relevant Result List is returned. (EBSCOhost, 2011)
