We’re continually aiming to improve the new Library Gateway and Library Search so please let us know your views and feedback via the link on the Library Gateway.
Further information about the Library Gateway and Library Search can be found on the staff intranet page A unified search for library resources (https://staff.shu.ac.uk/sls/services/lis/summon.asp).
