"Author Identifier" feature in Scopus

In addition to Scopus' new Citation Tracker, they have released the first version of the Scopus Author Identifier. This tool allows you to search for a particular author, then determine that author's affiliation, variations of name or name changes, and browse past co-authors. This is a particularly helpful tool when looking up authors with very common last names. Too see a demo of this tool, go to the "Scopus Author Identifier" overview demonstration.

UPDATE: Our Elsevier representative has sent me a PowerPoint presentation detailing how to use this new feature. It is available at http://library.wlu.edu/science/authorprof6.ppt.
