A number of additional features for the NRM Toolbar are in planning or development. A description of these features is presented below. We are always keen to discuss any potential collaboration for development or ideas that you have to improve our services. Please contact us at contactus@nrmtoolbar.net.au.

My alerts

The alert tool will allow users to set up automatic email alerts for specific types of content and specific subject areas. For example, you may be interested in tracking what new Decision support tools are released related to coastal and marine environments or you may like to know when any new publications related to salinity become available.

This product will contain various statistics and graphs of user interaction with the NRM Toolbar. It will present knowledge investors with important information such as:

• What are the current popular topics in NRM?
• What are people failing to find on the search engine?
• What are specific segments of NRM professionals looking for?
• What percentage of publications hit by users are from our organisation?

Evidence Bases Version 2

There are a number of enhancements in design for the Evidence Bases that are planned. These are likely to include:

• the addition of Google Map functionality
• browsing via custom vocabularies
• improved internal search including via content type
• additional fields to search for existing metadata
• improved site navigation
• add a search box for your evidence base to your other Internet sites

MERI Evidence Base add-on

Currently being designed is new functionality for the Evidence Base software that will allow a user to associate individual pieces of evidence to particular assumptions within a Program Logic or Conceptual model. This add-on is being sponsored and managed by Clear Horizon Pty Ltd.

A 'List of Evidence' page will be created for each assumption that evidence is to be collected for. On this page will be listed all the evidence that tests this assumption and also a summary of the evidence.
