We have now removed the Catalogue/Catalogue Plus options from the search form on the library home page, and moved to a single, unified search.
***
We made this decision for two reasons. We have had feedback that the purpose of these options isn't clear to users, and it is potentially causing confusion. Also, the ordering of search results in WorldCat Local has improved to the point where there no longer such a need for the separate search options.
Searching from off-campus will also work in the same way as on-campus searches. We believe that recent improvements mean that there is now little purpose in logging in before running the search, as users will be taken to a log-in box when trying to access any resources that need authentication. Please do let us know if you encounter any problems arising from this, though.
We will make the change on Wednesday afternoon. We do not expect any disruption to service.
