An institution can offer links to all of its information resources via MetaLib, regardless of the type of resource or its location. MetaLib can search many of those resources- whichever have been configured for this purpose. For some resources, depending on the configuration and the policies of the information provider, MetaLib performs the search but links the user to the native interface of the resource for the display of the result list or the full record details.
