Interface Changes

There are many databases that we have renewed with different vendors for this upcoming fiscal year. These vendor changes will cause a noticeable change in the interface that you see for each of these databases.

Three of our existing databases will now be available on the EBSCOhost platform rather than through OCLC’s FirstSearch. This change also means that these databases will available for multi-database searching as discussed in a previous post.

EconLit (Economics)
RILM (Abstracts of Music Literature)
MLA (Literature & Language)

Another set of databases will be available on the WilsonWeb platform rather than through OCLC’s FirstSearch. WilsonWeb also has multi-database search capabilities for this set of databases; look for the Open Database Selection Area link on the WilsonWeb search page to see the list of databases available for cross-searching.
