EBSCO Discovery Service

I hope you are all aware by now that our implementation of EBSCO's Discovery Service is getting closer to completion.  It has taken most of this academic year so far and I'm sure there will be little tweaks needed here and there over the summer to make sure it is ready for the students to be let loose on it!

The name we have chosen is mySearch and we hope it 'does what it says on the tin' and provides as close to a one-stop search box as possible covering many of our online resources.

I have just received confirmation that our Heritage catalogue records have been successfully integrated into mySearch although this is not 'live' information at the moment.  I have yet more questionnaires to fill out to, hopefully, enable us to get this level of information available.  I'll keep everyone posted as this progresses over the summer.

We have got a trainer from EBSCO coming in to show us around the system in September so we'll be prepared to help staff and students get the most out of this new service. In the meantime please do take a look and if you've used EbscoHost before you should find that the interface looks familiar.
