Hi all, The response from NLH on the search query I posted this morning: We have replicated this issue by searching the Women’s Health Specialist Library and note that the results provided are nearly all linked into resources from other collections, i.e. CKS and Cochrane. Basically, if you search from within a Specialist Library (SL) then the results show everything the SL have indexed – covering both records they have created themselves and records their site is linking to from other libraries or other imported collections, such as Cochrane and CKS. However when you search a selected SL from the NLH hub page it only includes records that have been created by that SL and not the ones their website is linking to from another library or collection. This prevents duplication of results in a hub page search but, given the disparity in the number of results returned, it can also look like some results are missing, I hope this explains the anomaly. It is something we need to investigate further as it does make cross-library searching appear inconsistent, so thank you for your patience whilst we work on this issue and apologies for any inconvenience caused. so be warned not to use a cross-library search as a shortcut!
