The new version of the Library Gateway is now live and ready for you to try out.  The Library Gateway brings together all of the University’s electronic information sources in a simplified screen.

However, many students still find it difficult to identify where they should start; they are confused by so many search boxes offering different options. What they want is to be able to search all of the library’s resources with the simplicity and speed of Google.  They want a Search everything box – so this is what we’ve introduced, with the new Library Search section at the top of the Library Gateway  page:

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.
