Federated Search Solution: Health Sciences Center Library has installed two types of Federated Search Solution for evaluation purposes. The two types are :IIN federated search and WebFeat.
Federated Search is an emerging feature of automated, web based library and information retrieval systems. Federated search implements a computer program that allows users to access multiple data sources with a single query string located within a single interface. The user enters a search query in the portal interface’s search box and the search string is sent to every individual database that is incorporated into the portal or federated search list.
