Learn how to access library databases, take advantage of the functionality they offer, and devise a proper search technique.
In our current Library Search, when you are in a full record* and select the ‘Full text available’ link, it takes you directly to the resource.
In the new version of Library Search, due to launch 7 February 2022, this link will take you to another section of the full record, entitled ‘View Online’ where there are links to view the resource via all available routes.
*The full record is what you see when you select a resource title in your search results. It gives more information about the item, and more options.
To see an example of a full record and how the ‘Full text available’ link differs in the new Library Search, please view the video below.

In the new Library Search, clicking on “Full text available” in the full record takes you to the View Online section
