  4. Why are we developing LibrarySearch? As a university, we have an inspiring and distinctive range and quality of resources that aid study and research for students and staff. These collections include not just the physical books and journals in the library but an expanding choice of e-books, e-journals and databases as well as our unique Special Collections. Currently our customers have to access these materials through a bewildering number of web pages and search facilities, none of which provide access to the full breadth and depth of the collections. We want to ensure that customers can discover, access and use all our resources in easily and intuitively, and have been working to provide a single search solution for our customers. We are launching LibrarySearch - an online resource discovery system that reveals more of Kent’s library resources than ever before. LibrarySearch will be the main gateway to our scholarly content from January 2015. LibrarySearch
