Return to Services

The VCCS is adding a new service to its Electronic Library Services. The service is called MetaLinc and consists of two components:
First component:  
SFX is a journal locator service.   Basically, when you search any of the many abstract and index (A&I) databases, e.g. CINAHL, or PsycInfo, you will now see this icon Lincit.  When you click on the icon, a connection will be made to a MetaLinc database and it will determine whether we have access to the electronic version of the journal that you found in the A&I database.  If we do license that database, you will link to it.
Second component:
MetaLib is a cross-database search engine.  Basically, this service will allow you to search several of our electronic databases simultaneously.   It will also provide a searchable database of our collection of electronic resources and provide subject groupings of this collection.  Try it!  Access requires a directory id and password login.  For those patrons without a directory id try the guest version.
