	abstract = {This research report and evaluation by Kim Knight summarizes, describes, explores, and critiques to Collex tool. The function of Collex is to facilitate the searching across "different peer-reviewed, scholarly databases." The tool allows users to collect resources in "exhibits" that can be privately or publicly stored. The aim of Collex is to move away from the "centrally organized, hierarchical content and away from a data structure in which the complex relationships of an archive are only apparent to those who are intimately familiar with the software platform." In order to accomplish this, NINES aggregates search results on their site and then, when a user selects an object, they are directed to the original online source, "thus, Collex retains the unique interpretive and presentational framework of each individual archive or journal." Knight concludes by asserting that "Collex is a unique and exciting tool." She argues that the "recursive user interactions highlights the unique benefits that online research has to offer" and the "benefits of doing research with Collex [...] is likely to entice very traditional scholars to engage in more robust online research activities."},
