Discussions look and feel branding contents (electronic & print) authentication (VLE username &
password) Library’s web pages (which should
exist) information skills
![Page 17: MetaLib - Making E-resources Earn Their Keep](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56815db7550346895dcbe594/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cataloguing & configuring cataloguing easy
form driven quality & content testing
configuration not so easy who should configure?
technical staff / academic librarians how many databases are cross searchable?

What does MetaLib mean to our readers?
students less reliance on Google? cross searchable versus
most appropriate?
researchers & academics using MetaLib cross search
more than anticipated

The future investigate:
usage statistics for e-journals searching behaviour of readers
incorporate new features of MetaLib e-journals
