Next Generation Melvyl Features

On May 27, 2008 the University of California (UC) will launch a pilot version of a replacement for the current Melvyl Catalog, which contains records for holdings at all ten UC campuses. Users are encouraged to test the pilot, called Next-Generation Melvyl, and offer feedback on how well it meets their needs. The pilot features a single interface that searches holdings in all UC libraries, those of libraries around the world, and UC books digitized by Google. It also searches for article references in education from journals indexed in ERIC, medicine and health from journals indexed in MEDLINE, U.S. government publications from journals indexed in GPO, and general topics from journals indexed in ArticleFirst. UC-eLinks can then be used to access the full text or print-copy information for journals to which there is a UC subscription.
