New Product Announcement-->Canadian Health and Public Policy ebrary collections

To accommodate the new public policy and health research collections we have changed the catalogue records for ebrary a bit. The new links are listed below.

Many thanks to Bib Services for all their help in setting up the links and testing the various options. marc records are on their way, so a big thanks to BibService and ITS for their work on these as well.

When setting up links in your subject pages, be cautious about just linking to the public policy or health sections, remember that a link to the entire ebrary collection will mean that users will be able to pull a much greater range of material. Do some experimenting before deciding which links to use.
