FirstSearch and GPO modifications

It is no longer necessary to log-in to FirstSearch databases with a username and password from the purple folder. All available FirstSearch databases have been added to the A to Z list of databases and can be accessed through IP authentication on campus and through EZProxy log-in from remote locations.

A list of available FirstSearch databases is also provided on the FirstSearch info page. This list distinguishes between those we have access to though an annual subscription and those which still charge per search. I am still in the process of adding these databases to the appropriate subject pages.

GPO is now available through the FirstSearch interface. All links through the library website now link to GPO in FirstSearch (instead of the SilverPlatter version). A link to the SiverPlatter version of GPO has been provided on the bottom of the GPO info page, since the library will still have access to it through September.

Please let me know if you have questions concerning these changes.
