c)  MultiSearch: Federated Search Platform from CSA
--------------------------------------------------

CSA and Eduserv Chest are currently negotiating for access to CSA's federated search platform: MultiSearch. Federated searching is the next generation in library services on the Web and provides a single, unified interface to multiple products resulting in better use of resources. MultiSearch delivers federated searching via a proven platform and allows seamless, full integration with the existing library resources.  It also provides a powerful utility to incorporate the library resources into other areas via course management software, department and web pages.

CSA and Chest are organising a series of seminars around the country to give you an opportunity to see MultiSearch at close hand. The venues currently arranged are: 

Monday 5th December (12:00 to 14:00): Glasgow Caledonian University 

Tuesday 6th December (12:00 to 14:00): Leeds Metropolitan University 

Wednesday 7th December (12:00 to 14:00): University of Wolverhampton 

Thursday 8th December (12:00 to 14:00): University of Cambridge

Tuesday 13th December (14:30 to 16:30): Southampton Solent University

To register for any of the seminars please go to <http://info.csa.com/multisearch>. 

There will also be a MultiSearch Lunch and Learn session during the Online Information Show at the Hilton London Olympia from 12.30-13.30 (registration is at 12.15) on the 30th November. The seminar will take as its subject "MultiSearch : Initial Setup and Response from Users at the State and University Library, Aarhus" and will be led by a fellow CSA customer, Helle Lauridsen from the Staatsbiblioteket in Århus, Denmark. If you would like to attend, please register in advance with Sophie Panagi, Customer Education and Training Manager, Europe and the Middle East at <mailto:[log in to unmask]> or go to <http://info.csa.com/London/> (before 28 November 2005).
