Summon (Serial Solutions/ProQuest) demonstration

Summon demonstration
Wednesday June 22nd
3.30pm
North Training Room
For Library staff

Representatives from Serials Solutions and its sister company, Proquest, will provide a demo of Summon on Wednesday June 22nd at 3.30pm in the North Training Room.

Summon is one of the 'next' generation' resource discovery tools currently on the market.
Summon is modelled on the Google-style approach of building, and then searching a unified index of available resources, instead of searching each database individually. Tools such as these provide unified indexes of the licensed scholarly publications combined with locally held content (like the catalogue).

These tools are the 'next generation' of the present metasearch tools, (e.g. Research Pro). They query the subscription databases and return a single set of results.

The demo provides an opportunity to learn about one vendors offering in this area and to investigate the technology behind the resource.

Web of Knowledge - New platform

Advance notice:
Web of knowledge is due to have a change of platform – later in 2011.

Taylor & Francis / Informaworld - New platform

A new online platform, Taylor & Francis Online, will replace access to the 1,600 Journals and Reference Works currently on Informaworld.

Taylor & Francis Online will be live from 27th June 2011.

Taylor & Francis are currently in the advanced stages of testing and plan to migrate from informaworld to Taylor & Francis Online over the course of the weekend beginning 25th June 2011. During this period users will still be able to access content as normal as we gradually redirect from informaworld to Taylor & Francis Online.

You will still be able to access your Abstracting & Indexing and Bibliographic databases on informaworld as normal, and notice will be sent once these are ready to move to Taylor & Francis Online.

TRAINING
There are online tutorials of the site. There are over 35 online demonstrations guiding you through the features of the new website. They can now be found at http://tandf.msgfocus.com/c/1cFjuWU6wwSFqQlZOWL. These are copyright-cleared and we are happy for you to use these in library demonstrations.
