The UoB Library is introducing a new way of locating and linking to online resources and databases for subject areas. Starting on Monday 9th August 2010, students and staff will be able to search or browse for online resources, including eJournal and eBook collections, databases, organisational web sites, news services and anything else of quality and relevance to Bradford via the Library’s new eResource webpages. Links to the new eResource pages will also be made available from the University intranet and Library homepages and require no username or password to access.
Those familiar with logging into Metalib to find relevant eResources may still do so via the Library homepage. Metalib will remain available until the end of January 2011 to allow all our members to migrate from the old service to the new. Some students/staff may also wish to save their search results and note down their favourite searches and/or databases prior to Metalib switch-off in early 2011. Subject librarians will be providing training on how the new eResource web service operates throughout autumn 2010. Subject librarians may also be contacted with any questions regarding the change in eResource discovery at the University and how it may effect research.
