Big change at Avery Index – Library Matters: news from ECA Library

College users of Avery Index, the important finding tool for architectural periodical articles, may have noticed that the library now sources this service through the database provider OCLC FirstSearch.
Use of the FirstSearch platform brings us into line with Edinburgh University and means that all architecture students, staff and researchers in the two institutions can access Avery through the same search interface.
FirstSearch searches the same Avery data as CSA Illumina, our previous supplier, and provides similar powerful search facilities and online help and search tips.
A seminar introducing College users to Avery Index via the OCLC FirstSearch interface will be arranged later this semester.
Avery Index can be accessed on or off-campus by following the links on this Portal page.
