MetaLib replacement, August 2018

The MetaLib service will be replaced at the end of August 2018. More information is provided below. ‘Find Resource’ will be replaced by a new service at the same location, the  Databases  page. ‘Find e-Journal’ will be replaced by a new service within Explore. ‘QuickSearch’/’ExpertSearch’ will not be part of the new service, as this technology has been superseded. Library Services' advice is either to use  Explore , for searching across a range of data sources with relevance ranking, or to consult  subject guides  or your Subject Liaison Librarian named there, for relevant data sources for your needs. ‘MyMetaLib’ will not be replaced.  Please make a note of any resources you have bookmarked , in order to locate them through the new service in August. If you have scheduled searches, you may be able to replicate such alerting in individual databases.
