Cross-Search pilot now live!

Our new federated search product, Cross-search, allows you to search across more than one library resource at once, saving lots of time! You can access the pilot at http://crosssearch.abertay.ac.uk

Search one of our special subject categories, which brings together key resources for each School, or across all books and e-books. If Abertay subscribes to a title you will also be able to access the full text.

Note: This is a pilot service and some resources are not yet available to cross-search (these include Barbour Index, Ebrary and Inspec)

Do you like Cross-search? Did you find what you were looking for? Please get back to me with any comments you may have at a.quick@abertay.ac.uk
