The end of SFX and MetaLib

Among the changes happening to our electronic resources this summer is the end of our subscription to SFX and MetaLib. The SFX program operates mostly behind the scenes ... it's a "links resolver" that enables our e-journals to function. MetaLib is a "metasearching" utility that allows people to search more than one of our resources at the same time ... you can search several of our databases at once, for example. MetaLib was popular with many of our users and some will be upset that it has terminated.

The good news is that we have a new links resolver in place, and a temporary e-journals A-Z list. You can get to the list by clicking HERE. This utility still needs some work, so you might get some odd results for a while. Also in the good news column is a new metasearching utility, coming soon. Stay tuned for further information.
