Access to Library databases soon switching to MetaLib


As part of improving access to Library resources, in the next few days, the Library will be switching to our new style MetaLib database pages from the old style ASP database pages. This will mean that the links in the left navigation of the Online Library pages that currently link to to the ASP lists of databases will change to the following:

Library resources for Management Subjects
Library resources for Computing Subjects
Library resources for Public Health Subjects

Login to EZproxy with your MWS username and password when prompted. You will then be taken to 'Expert Search' the key twelve databases in your subject. From here you can:
  1. Type in your search term and then select the database(s) you want to search by making sure there is a tick next to the database(s) you want.
  2. Link to the native database interface by clicking on a database title.
  3. Use the 'Find database' option to locate a specific a database and link to the native database interface.
  4. Use the other cross-searching options, such as cross-search e-book collections, more collections, general reference collections.
Why not have a look now so you will be prepared for the change?

If you have any questions please contact the Online Librarian.
