In November the Library will introduce a new, more powerful search engine called Discover! This search engine provided by EBSCO will have a number of enhanced features and will search across many databases. Discover! takes research to the next level through a perfect combination of content and technology, taking into account all of the critical elements in the research process, and changing the expectations of how a discovery solution can and should address the needs of its users.

Discover! provides a fast, streamlined search through a single search box, but within the context of a greater experience that pulls together intuitive features and functionality, high-end indexing via inclusion of Subject Indexes, and instant access to critical full text.
You can trial our new search engine at:                                                                                  http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,guest&custid=s3335341&groupid=main&profile=eds

At the end of October 2017, the library’s search engine “Summon” will cease to operate.  If you have bookmarks or favorites, please update them to our new search engine Discover! If you have any documents or literature on searching library’s resources please update them to the new search system.

PLEASE NOTE: If you were using RefWorks referencing tool within the Summon, you must print or export them before 31/10/2017 as these details will not be transferred over to the new EBSCO Discovery Service.                                                                                                                                                                     In November the library will launch its new Library website, it will be more informative, dynamic and engaging. November will see the launch of the new Library Management System “KOHA”; it will  replace the old Millennium system. KOHA is an advanced open source integrated library system and will enhance the users experience for all researchers. It is a truly remarkable system and a monumental step forward for all our libraries. 

PLEASE NOTE: Patrons who use the “Reading History” option in their Library Accounts should note that these details will not be transferred over to the new system. We therefore recommend making a copy of your reading history in advance of the changeover.
