MetaLinc Services |
|
The VCCS is adding a new service to its Electronic Library Services. The
service is called MetaLinc and will consist 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  .
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. |
